| If anyone goes yarding outside of the rust belt... I need the brake line that runs the length of the car. Mine's got more than a few pin holes and the rear brakes don't work at all. I also need the fuel line that runs the length of the car too. Yeah for rust...  I'll pay for shipping to 46385 & your time, so lemme know! Mark designs.by.mark@gmail.com708-821-6941 | |

| It would be better to make up a new one using your old ends,.
How would you ship such a thing? | |

| Yeah, I was gonna say, wouldn't it be more cost effective to flare in some new lines? |

| Rust is the reason why I keep a 25' roll of line on hands at all times  | |

| Too bad they didn't use a low grade stainless for the brake lines, like they did for so many other chassis parts. | |

| Standard steel brake lines should be replaced every ten years due to metal fatigue according to the Ontario Ministry of transportation. people never do but it's written!
I use the green teflon coated tubing when making new brake lines, cheaper than stainless but will last years longer than the regular steel brake lines | |

| You would be lucky if you got the brake line there without getting bent. Shippers do not take care of anything like that. If you insured it, you would be getting your insurance money instead of a brake line. The cost for shipping would be more than the cost of a custom line. | |
