<VV> Re: BRASS BRAKE LINE BLOCKS

[Marc Sheridan]

I agree that repros are available, but disagree that if they look good they
are good. The block at the rear of my car looked just fine, but when I put
new lines in it I had a leak even after I rounded the corners with a line
wrench. I considered buying the repro block, but after I checked the price,
I got the vice grips out :o).

They are made out of brass and the line is steel. I'm assuming they don't
take too many loosening and tightening cycles before they are hard to seal.
