making brake lines.

[troyboy162]

I've been given the opertunity to replace a brake line. There are three options:
-OEM Toyota part new or from a junk yard
-pre flaried lines with fittings that you bend your self
-cut line to length, reuse fittings, flair, and bend it myself

I've decided to make my own since I can make them fit perfectly and buy tools with the saved money. The fit portion will make more sense when I put up some pics. I have some pretty shotty lines from my calipers to the flex hose. They are very exposed to damage. A better fit will help keep them tucked in.

I also hope to make a new line for the rear that takes a better route. 3rd gens have a brake line on the rear axle that is prone to rock damage
