Re: Brake Lines @ Master

it's for adding suspension to the lines so they don't brake. because they are mounted to body and frame and bend and twist at differant times.

Ding Ding Ding....winner.

The Spirals that are wound into the brake lines are there for flexing. If you were to plumb them without, you would run the risk of "work hardening" the brake line and causing the line to break/split.

you dont have to do spirals, you could always add in a section of flexible rubber line just like chassis to suspension.
