March 27, 2007 - A mystery solved.
For some reason, the brake master cylinder only had two outlets instead of the usual three - one for the rear and one for each front. It was driving me crazy until a coworker remembered the donor car had ABS. The ABS module took care of the distribution between each side, of course!
Now that's sorted out, I needed a junction to feed both front wheels. Voila! This picture sure makes that lower line look crinkly - I'll smooth that out for aesthetics. The ziptie is to help anchor the lines and cut down on vibration.
It's possible to see what a little dribble of brake fluid, left to sit for a couple of days, did to my fresh white paint. Oh well...
