Brake lines, continued

I received a quote back from R.D. Enterprises for the 4 braided brake lines. $140. Now, these would match up to the original fittings, and I would not have to replace everything. But the price is a little steep, especially if I can get a set from JEG's for $40. Except if I get the set from JEG's, I need to replace all of the lines, fuss with adapters, and figure out the entire system from scratch.

So, I put together a shopping list from JEG's. I figured I could replace the entire system for $170. That includes the braided flexible hose, and all of the hard line. For $30 more than if I had gone with the Lotus specialist, that's a no brainer. And once this is done, I will know exactly how the entire brake system goes together.

Another major project, but I am going to be more comfortable with the car when they are done. Now I just have to spend a couple days out at the garage tearing the old lines out. Sounds like loads of fun.
