[Lewis Consulting]

Hi Mark,

Great to hear from you, I know, I screwed up, last time I kicked myself for not putting them on, looks like I did it again !!! 

Next time, no more rubber hoses.

Hope all is well with you.

  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
