I've had an on and off slow leak in a brake line (or a brake pipe rather) on the driver's side about a foot or two rear of the front axle. Well because I ignored it and never got around to dealing with it, it finally blew out and dumped all my brake fluid and now no brakes. Lucky for me I was close to home. I have a 1995 RRC LWB suffering from several rusting issues. I'm hoping to get another winter out of her because I think the salt will win out soon, so i don't want to put a lot of money into her. I'm in Rochester, NY
I tried doing some research on here about what the fix should be and what I have learned is that I should use 3/16" of 4.75 mm Cunifer cooper/nickel piping or similar. I may be able to reuse the fittings but I'm unsure what kind of flare or bubble flare or double flare should be used on the raw piping that I fit. Has anybody had any experience in replacing the brake lines that run to the rear? Should I bite the bullet on this one and find/pay for a stock replacement brake line? Who has a good price? Thanks in advance!
