Re: Braided cluth lines... and their loving replacement

["dmcjohn" <john.dore@xxxx>]

Hi Travis,
I found it very easy to replace the plastic line with the SS line - I 
simply cut the plastic one in a few places and then it was easy to 
pull it off the car. The only tricky part was when putting the SS one 
on, to try and thread one end of it through that hole in the chassis 
and back out the other hole, at the rear of the frame... but I kept 
at it, and got it through the 2 holes after about 5 minutes. Sorry 
about the bad explination there, but you'll know what I mean when you 
look under the car. Then simply use zip-ties/cable ties to secure the 
line to a few different points along the frame to keep it from 
sagging. Easy!
Where does it say the frame has to be removed to do this job?? On my 
car, the plastic line ran along the bottom of the frame, and was 
clearly visible the whole length of the frame.
Good luck,
John Dore, Boston.VIN #3810.
