Re: [Amc-list] Found out why my '65 American was parked!

Seals are easy! You did the rear brakes, you CAN do the seals!

Brake lines, I forget what company Matt Haas used to buy lines, they can provide the correct ready to bolt in lines.
Or take the rusted pieces in and get the closest length to match, then carefully bend till it works.
  Making brake lines is an art. double flaring takes good tools, practice and patience. If you have the want, you can indeed learn.  Do a web search and read, then decide, that's what I did. Then I broke my neck, hmmm maybe someday I'll put that expensive double flaring took to use?  :]
