New Knowledge! My day is complete. 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be art on  Wed Aug 4 10:12 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I would have assumed the same, not knowing a lot about brake lines, but I found it curious once an auto parts counter guy explained to me about the four kinds of brake lines, two were foreign and two domestic, but only so in their fittings. Wasn't paying much attention, until later discussing with Bruce Young using 3/16" compression couplings on the volvo lines.

It may not be relevant, but much of the Volvo before the 240 was measured in fractional inches, fasteners and all.

Once I strolled into a St. Petersburg, FL shopping mall, to find its open area nearly filled with Corvairs. That was about as close as I ever got to the car famed for being "unsafe at any speed". I thought they looked like fun.
