    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What is going on with my brakes?

Looks like they used fuel line, most of which is not compatible with brake fluid. Brake fluid is surprisingly damaging stuff to a lot of materials.

I had to make one of these cheapie M/Cs work a while back, and after a few failures I did some testing with several samples of tubing from my stash dunked into brake fluid overnight. I ended up using a chunk of translucent yellow Tygon tubing normally used for fuel lines. In order to form the tight U-bend without kinking or collapsing the soft tubing, I pushed the Tygon tubing over a piece of copper 1/4" tubing and dipped it into boiling water for a minute. A quick dunk in cold water to cool, and the "U" shape was permanent.

Brian, what did you do with the copper tubing then? Just leave it inside the Tygon?
