[s-cars] High pressure hydraulic line

[Kirby Smith]

Igor:

As I also recall from the mental archivers, without the restrictor some
users found significant pulsing noises.  The restrictor can be cleaned
when the hose is rebuilt.  I have a sectioned hose in my garage.  It is
a small porous orifice.  Probably clogged with hose lining, if in fact
it is materially clogged.  Also the bolts at each end (different part
numbers) have a screen that needs to be cleaned. 

However, the real reason for slow repressurization is really that the
pressure has bled off and the bomb capacity is large.  Either the bomb
check valve is bad, or the valve in the master brake assembly is bad.
