QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Mar 29 2003, 11:53 PM) The stock lines are steel up front, where they go through the grommet. The plastic is (more or less) just pushed onto the steel bits, and then runs back through the tunnel and exits into the engine bay. There is practically never a problem with the lines in the tunnel, unless they get physically damaged by some intrusion. (Screw, drill bit, etc.) In the engine bay is another story. They get exposed to heat and chemicals and such, and can eventually get brittle and break. As long as you can safely get rubber lines onto them, I don't think there's a lot of problem just keeping them. I'd use SS truck hard brake line. Aluminum and copper have too many potential issues. Copper in particular... --DD Here is a pic, sorry for the quality... DD, the circle shows where they broke. Is there a "best" place to start rubber? The fire wall? |
