WTB: Front brake lines (hard)

[rhock99 at epix.net (Ryan H)]

Peter, not sure what you mean but I think I like where you're going with this... could you explain: do you mean the fitting that is part of the rubber line?  And two vertical slits, is that what you mean?  Just to kinda loosen the fitting?  Ahh, I'm lost. :o
