[T3] Last minute thrash

[Jim Adney]

Dave,

The RR brake flex line is an oddball, the only one that's F-F. I'll be 
pleasantly surprised if ISP has the correct one, since everyone I've ever tried 
was a bus line that's longer than the OE. I usually have correct ones. I'll 
check and bring one along if I can.
