    When you say "all the lines", do you mean all the metal lines? All of the flexible lines that run directly to the calipers are new. And, what connectors? Thanks.

    What's it's like to own a defender

    Best money I have ever spent, and keep on spending. I get a thrill every time I get in it (her). Would not trade her for anything else.
