New brake lines (steel)

As could be expected, the steel brake line servicing the back wheels was rotted, so we took it out and replaced it with a new one (blue in the pictures).  We had to bend it into shape first so it would fit over the transaxle.  Then we had to connect it with the brass fixtures which connected it to the main brake line and the rubber lines to the wheels (these other lines aren't shown in the pictures).  After that we had to fit the line into the place the old one had been, and get it onto the bolts that are supposed to hold it in place. Understandably, we hadn't got it bent quite right at first, and so it was a tough job getting it in.
