Whew!
« on: January 27, 2006, 07:40:11 PM »

I just bled the front brakes on my 73. I was really afraid it wasn't going to turn out well since this was the first time I bent and flaired my own metal brake lines. No leaks, and the pedal feels much firmer then the brakes on 70. I'm betting it's because I put a set of Bill's braided steel lines (which BTW are really nice!) on the front instead on the rubber lines my 70 has. Just wanted to share!  drinks

Good job.  I was worried about my flares the first time but never had any problems.

Yeah after a few days they still seem OK. Hopefully I will get a pair of my front wheels stripped and painted so I can get the car out and test them.
