[alfa] Brake line from front caliper to hose

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

Got another question..

When I was doing the front calipers,  I noticed on reinstalling that one 
of the hard lines from the caliper to the flex line was easier to bend.  
Like right at the joint of the caliper fitting.

Got that paranoid feeling,  and am worring that I might have the start 
of flex cracking at that joint,  and that I might get the proverbial 
Nasty Surprise someday as the hose cracks just when I need it most...

I'm going to inspect it at the joint and see if I can see anything..  
but this got me wondering,  what are replacement sources for this short 
piece?  I don't want to make my own if possible,  and guess that there 
may be some similar pieces out there someplace.

Currently I've talked to a BMW dealer,  got a maybe for a 77 530,  and I 
think Porsche used/uses ATE brakes...  I searched for a while on the 
Digest and didn't turn anything up..

Anybody been down this road before?

the brake system)
