RE: [MV] Need brake lines for M715

List,
Funny I lost a seal (or some thing similar) in my left rear drum. Currently
my M715 in sitting in front of my house. Luckily it went out in front of my
house and not when I was drive down the highway at 50mph. I could see me
tearing through or over a Honda and denting my truck.
I think when I finally get around to fix this I will replace the master
cylinder with one with a Duel well and a vacuum power booster. I will
probably also replace all the hydraulic lines.
Has anyone seen Disc brakes on or know a way to put Disc Brakes on a M715?

Robert

George:
AB Linn may still have the rubber brake lines at a reasonable cost. Give
him a
call. The rest of the lines are most easily done by making them yourself.
Just
buy the line, a bender and the proper double flareing tool. If you don't
feel
confident doing this, then any good brake shop should be able to do it for
you.
