I need a bit of guidance on the type of brake line for my Smith project . I'v got a Grove firewall reservoir / Matco master cylinders and / Gerdes brakes with2'' caliper . I have welded 3/8 X .035 bushings in the front legs of my landing gear (stream lined tube) to be able to run the lines inside and not interfere with the fabric covering . I'm looking at teflon/nylon from the master cylinders to the calipers and possibly braided from the reservoir down to the master cylinders , with a T , of course . I have a fairly tight turn at the upper end of the landing gear that would not be a problem with the plastic but a hard line would be difficult . Any ideas , toss um my way . Thanx
