<P>maybe thats why they guy put it over the gas tank</P>
<P>but i dont think so</P>
<P>i had some lines spliced last year by my favorite shop in NY</P>
<P>then the guy in maine told me the splices were illegal in maine - but not in every state - but that the other kind of splice he performed was legal in maine </P>
<P>so it sounds like a state to state thing here</P>
<P>but i am going to replace all lines with simgle pieces asap anyway</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;The guy at the first shop had to join two lines together because he
<DIV></DIV>did not have a long enough line to do it in one shot.
<DIV></DIV>Is it legal to have joins in your brakelines? It isn't in New
<DIV></DIV>Zealand... therefore LineLocs are illegal too.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>That didn't stop me splicing a brakeline in my 74 Golf, though...
<DIV></DIV>under the driver's footwell carpet, where it rusted through... who
<DIV></DIV>was going to see it there? (or above your gastank)
