Default Wonder if FIRM lines are not the way to go here....?

Thanks all for your input. I was wondering if perhaps firm lines (Stainless) would be perhaps a better solution long term?

The issue with the firm lines is that there are plastic 3/8" outlets on the reservoir as well as the two master cylinders.... How to make that connection still implies some sort of rubber to stainless fitting/coupling. Thus by splicing in stainless I would be adding 2 more points of failure per line for a total of 4.

Are the newer ERA's 700 series Serial Number cars also using the rubber hose remote reservoir for feeding the master cylinders? Or is there now some new way to make this feed of brake fluid?

Last thought... if your ERA's number is < #400 then do yourself a favor and check those remote reservoir hoses. Just a flashlight upon the inside of driver's side footbox and a paper towel is all that is needed. Please be on the safe side!

Cheers...
