Thanks for that information.... regarding the hard lines and the short hose connectors. I am more apt to stay with the two hoses as the hose has but 2 connections whereas a firm line with rubber at each end has in actuality 4 connections.
I was able to source the hose from ERA themselves, or Pegasus Racing or www.brakequip.com (thru one of their local dealers here in CT) as part number BQ322 a ten foot length. The hose should arrive soon.
Thanks to all for your help and also a plug to Neil Maken editor of Skinned Knucles magazine who responded with the BrakeQuip lead. BTW, Skinned Knuckles is just a wonder journal for auto restoration and is in its 34th year of publication. www.skinnedknuckles.net
