New servo vacuum hose

The warm weather is finally here and I'm back at my +2 project. There are a lot of small projects on my list before I drive the car.

In the fall, I replaced the brake servo vacuum hose with silicone fuel line. Unfortunately, you could see it flex and pinch when you applied pressure to the pedal. So I needed to change to a hose with stronger walls.

A local hydraulic shop suggested using high pressure fuel injection line (rated for 800+ psi). I purchased a short length and installed it this afternoon. The brakes should feel "right" now.

I'll post another update on the brakes when I start the car next week.
