[urq] SS brake line supplier

[Brandon Rogers]

Hey guys-
that friend was me ( I don't have email at home-Dennis did me a favor by
posting yesterday)...

So, yeah, I was parking and the driver side SS brake line broke at the
fitting (car side, not caliper side).  Plenty of fluid came out.  Luckily I
was, literally, just parking!  The pedal went to the floor.  I didn't want
to take any chances so just had the car towed to my house.  So maybe there
is some braking left....I just know that fluid shot out when i pressed the
pedal, so I didn't press it anymore...

Thanks, Steve, I'll check w/ GPR.  Hopefuly a local p[lace will have them
too so I can fix next weekend.....

Brandon
