attached is a sample of a brake line cross section that isn't gunked up.
Jim & FYI All -
Whenever an auto part/product is marked as DOT Approved, then it's legal & okay for street legal use in the USA, whether brake lines, tires, headlights, etc.
It means it's met the US Dept of Transportation's standards & regulations in effect at the time the part was produced, but doesn't speak to their reliability nor "freshness" since they could be older NOS parts & degraded by age &/or superceded by newer & more stringent standards/regs.
