Question: replacing the brake caliper on the pass rear side resulted in me breaking the hard brake line near the caliper - should this be replaced with another hard line? Or can I use an off the shelf flex line ie braided?

http://www.austinhealeywood.com/brakelines.html has cunifer line kits, rust-proof and easier fit bend to fit than either plain steel or stainless. The kit for the 914 is $135 and includes all hard lines. This is how I am going to do mine, once and done til the car rusts away.

Fit well and easy to bend. I'm sure the lines from Eric will be just as nice but weren't available when I needed them. |
