600 brake lines threads

[Lyle]

Okay just an FYI;
With a bit of searching I came across a brake manufacturer through a
Hemmings Motor News add. Called "Brake & Equipment Warehouse" at
INFO@... attention Rob, or at their website "www.brakeplace.com"
or call 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX EXT.648. Rob said he could provide the Honda 600
brake lines and fittings. He said they also sleeve wheel and with stainless
steel at $50.00 a cylinder and as for the 10 x 1.25mm line end nuts he can
provide them for $1.50 each. They have the 3/16" line from 10 inches to 50
inch lines and longer coils with the ends fitted. So, if your looking for
new hard lines, Hoses, cylinders resleeved and rebuilt, they seem to have
the capability.
