I am so close now that I can taste the brake fluid! My questio has to do with putting in the brake line on my '50. The section along the frame on the passenger side between the two joints seems to be a bit too long to fit. Is there a trick to getting both ends in without bending the line? I'm hoping this is an easy answer and not another excuse for delay on this project.

Put one end in place but don't start the threads. With one hand grasp the other end and with the other hand gently bow the center enough to get the other end in the fitting. Then start the threads and tighten them.

Thanks. I was hoping that was the case but not brave enough to try without the confirmation. The Stovebolt still goes by the idea that "no question is a stupid question', and I'm thankful.
