Hey no need to apologize! I was just trying to be funny, there's nothing wrong with asking questions in an old thread.
Yeah, what he said, LOL!!6spd_monte wrote:Holy Thread Revival, Batman!
What Roy means is, if you look at the brake lines as they come out of the master cylinder you may find that the brake lines are formed in a coil - like a spring. The purpose for this is to have some slack in the pipes so that in an accident the brake lines can stretch a bit and still maintain pressure. Without this the lines may tear if the accident were severe enough and then if the vehicle was still moving you would not be able to stop it.
