Re: Brass unions in steel brake lines.

Damn Canadians... you get all the breaks... or "brakes" as the case may be

Again... nothing immoral about it, but its not legal here in the states. Technically the stainless braided AN brake lines aren't legal either since they don't have the FMVSS 106-required "DOT" printed on them, but that isn't to suggest that they aren't safe.

We Americans have a HUGE gap between functional and legal, but a narrow gap between legal and moral. No one enforces brass brake fittings, but radar detectors and tinted windows are evidently something that comes directly from hell. We're quick to make laws that ensure safety, but quick to enforce the laws that make money. You can drive a car that might have a brake failure, but if you smoke marijuana, you are suddenly a felonious baby killer or something. I don't get it.
