Brief Description:  Replace brake lines to reservoir fittings

I'm told by other builders, that the brake reservoir nylon tee that Van's supplies with the kit has a tendancy to crack and leak. So I replaced it with brass fittings. Note however, that the tubing Van's supplies for this is high pressure rated with .063 wall thickness. You can NOT get the brass insert to go inside that tube. Since this tubing is atmospheric pressure only, I used left over tubing from the Static line installation... and it works perfectly. I layed out these lines so everthing slopes upward toward the reservoir so air bubbles will migrate to the reservoir.
