Don't forget you're both very welcome to come and stay if you ever want to take a break over here.
On the brake line front, does this picture help? It is of my Contemporary when I was building and clearly shows the routing of the rear brake lines.

Hi, Paul -
First and foremost, I'm am so pleased to hear that the perverted rams and sheep are at it again. Lots of red ears running around, no doubt!
It's great to hear from you, and I can't tell you how many times I have pored over the picture that you just posted. 99% of the picture is perfect in showing how the brake lines are run, and in fact I used that very picture to determine how to run my lines in a very similar fashion. However, as luck would have it, the sway bar blocks out the very tiny portion of the picture that I really need to see in order to figure out how Jag or Contemporary did it. The area where the brake lines come out of the caliper vertically, bend immediately to horizontal, then bend again to descend vertically is exactly what I'd love to see. my problem is that my lack of brake line bending skill, coupled with a bender that may have some limitations equal to those of the user, makes it impossible for me to make the first bend close enough to the entry point to the caliper, meaning that the lines are too high coming out of the caliper vertically before they make the bend to horizontal.
Thanks for the pic and the invitation as well. I wish I could get over there, or you here. I'd love for our families to get together, we'd have a great time I'm sure.
Hope all is well,
Doug
