the flexible line is pretty expensive from modern since there all SS braided.

i dont think anyone sells the hard lines, you might have to bend new ones or JY

yeah it was the hard line that have a hole in it is it possible to use the rubber line i have left laying around from my drums and use pipe clamps on the spot that leaking like cut it out and replace it with rubber line till i have money to fix it? or wont that work as long as it clamped tight that it cant blow off?

that should work, just not so tight that it crushes the pipe.

i did all the brake and fuel line on my car for under $60 Autozone sells rolls of hard line
Its like 17-20 a roll and i think i used just under 2 rolls for all 4 lines. and i reused all the old fittings

i had a flare kit and a tubing bender but you should be able to get both for under $40

i just took my time taking them off one at a time and used the old ones as temp lets by bending new line and taping them together as i bend

yeah I wish I had a bender and stuff all my fittings are like rusted and don't come lose lol that's why they blew out from trying to tighten it I'm going to get raped for like 200 bucks for the damn brake lines I can see it now lol I only need the rear left and right side I was in such a hurry to do my rear disc swap I forgot how rusted my lines were and well I messed everything up I tried fixed it it don't leak but I can't bleed them because the bleeders are stripped the car came from New Hampshire and looked like it was sitting in my for a long time there a hole in my floor that I cut out and welded a new one it out of a donor car and rubber coated it my car at this point is a polished turd lol under all the nice stuff is a ball of rust I replaced everything on the car from my donor r/t struts motor trans interior from a 2nd gen and Eibach anti sway bars that were on the donor I love my car and will do anything to get it back on the road
