[s-cars] FW: Greetings from Saskatchewan !

[Mark Strangways]

Randy, just buy some SS rear brake lines.

TAP used to have em on the shelf. I know they are not well regarded on this 
list but surely they can't screw up brake hoses :-)

I have had them on my car since well forever I think.. has to be 5-8 years 
anyways
