Another loop advocate... I've never seen a loop in a brake hardline before..
You guys did notice I said its a hardline right? Runs from the junction block
at the pumpkin to the backing plate.
I'm a little nervous about the junction block giving up threads... I'll hit
everything with PB Blaster
This is the rear line, it goes along the axle to the backing plate, no
vibration that I can tell which is why I think you'd want the loop. I'd also be
