    bunch of brake line questions

    the people at Memphis are great. I needed the short brake shoes for one wheel and was thinking I would have to buy the long ones as well, but they sold me just what I needed. They're in my M715 favorites file from then on!

    Cap Screws for Brake drum!

    bunch of brake line questions

    I could probably use your magic as the bends running to the wheel cylinder are rather snug. I bought a tubing bender and flaring tool and am only waiting for the line to arrive. it is CNF line which I have learned bends very easily. still, I plan to go slowly and meticulously the whole time...
