<VV> Working on the 64

Lonzo!

How the Hay are ya?

Good warning on the brake hose.  I managed to cut through the LF one on 
Thanksgiving (2 past) on the Rampside.  Fortunately I had installed a dual 
master 2 or 3 years prior, so was still able to stop - but a bit more 
excitedly - ending up in the middle of an intersection.

I had changed out the hoses at the same time as the MC install - but it 
turns out that the ones I used were 2 inches longer than the originals. 
This is what led to the "emergency" that night.  The hose only touched on a 
tight turn, so it took a while for it to wear through.  How do I know this? 
I tested both sizes afterward.

Later, JR
