Hi everybody, I'm poking around my long dormant resurrected kit and  
noticing the right side optional brake pedal lines are white plastic.  
Does any one sell a kit to do this with nicer lines? Can small AN  
fittings be used here?

I was reading about a brake pedal improvement where the short pivot  
point bolts are replaced with AN3-60 bolts. The result is one bolt all  
the way across the bottom of the pedal instead of a single bolt on  
each side. The better alignment of the single bolt shaft reduces the  
possibility of binding and makes the pedals operate smoother. Is this  
true?

I also read some time back about one complaining about draggy brakes  
and the need to upgrade the springs on the master cylinders for  
stronger ones. Is this true?

And what about the brakes? My Vans wheels and brakes and tires are now  
about ten years old. Is it worth while to install Grove wheels and  
brakes? Do they work better?

Who makes the best tires?

Thanks for your support....
