[Tech-Tool-Tip] New Use For Old Brake Hoses - Brake Line Plugs

[peter@thescirocco.com (peter)]

New use for old brake hoses...

The ends can be made into brake line plugs, very helpful when swapping
out a rear trailing arm, or if you have to a caliper disconnected for a
while.

I cut the female end off the brake hose and weld the hose end shut,
repeat this on a 2nd hose, because you need 2 of them for swapping
axles.
The A3 brake hoses work better, but this can be done with any A1/A2/A3
brake hose.

The male ends can also be used to plug M/cyl's after you bench bleed
them, but I prefer to use rubber or plastic plugs for that, so you don't
have to take the time to unscrew them.
