Re: 64 Plymouth Sport Fury Brake lines

[Bob Kinker <maxwedge11@xxxxxxxxx>]

Classic Lines, Fine Lines, and a couple other
companies make new brake lines for our cars. You may
have an obstruction or pinched line leading to the
rear brakes.  I usually replace these lines on my old
cars as cheap insurance against brake loss. Also, I
don't get a warm & fuzzy feeling trusting 40+ year old
lines!
Good luck!
