OK, this isn't an Elky story, but can apply to any Elky. I had a problem with the brake lines rusting out of my 97 F-350. This was caused from carrying salted sand in the winter. Anyway, I called Classic Tube and Michael requested I send the lines to him for dublication. As a bonus, he would add the pattern to his database and give me a discount. That was nice, I like discounts. Now I'm working on a 72 Elky and one of the first things I will be buying is the Stainless Steel lines from them. I have priced them at $179, but that is cheap for a good piece of mind thay your brakes will work when needed. They have the pattern in their database already.
