Re: Brakes/Dual Master Cylinder/rename

[Mike & Deb <lefevre@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,
To straighten all kinds of tubing I attach one end to a anchor and the 
other to a come-a-long and stretch the tubing. Only a slight amount is 
needed. This work-hardens the metal and toughens it. It also shrinks the 
diameter a little but it does make it nice and straight. There is some 
waste so allow for it.
