On Thursday my wife and I blead the brakes on Elwood – only to see a small puddle of brake fluid under the back end of the car. The passenger side flex line is dripping, and I also looked at the driver side, only to see “bulges” in the outer covering of that flex line. I replaced both front flex lines when I restored Elwood in 2008, but if I were a betting man – I would bet the rear flex lines are original to the car. Good thing this was discovered BEFORE this trip! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Alex @ ISP West has both flex lines in stock (thank you, Alex) and shipped them out right away on Friday from California to New York, saying that “overnight” shipping isn’t overnight when a weekend is involved. Fingers crossed they get here today on Monday, but I could still be alright if they show up on Tuesday. We leave early Wednesday, so there’s the chance Elwood won’t make the trip if UPS doesn’t demonstrate their game!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>And here I was only concerned about Elwood not idling….<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:none'>Dave Pallo<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:none'>’72 Square ~ Elwood<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:none'>Fairport, New York<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
