  Is a double union (with feruls) an acceptable connection for brake 
lines?  Since you never see them otherwise...  I know the local parts 
store has varying lentghs of brake hard line but none are quite the right 
thread for imports.  When I was at VW they had many different lengths 
of brake line all to factoy lenghts.  Proper tubing benders are available 
at places like JC Whitney I believe.  Pull the old line and copy it on an 
open floor and it'll fit right in.  Was kind of fun to do!  :-)
