While replacing the radiator on my '91 Carat, I noticed one of the brake lines is severly corroded at a plastic clamp. I assume the movement scratched the painted line allowing misture to get in a do its dirty work. I greased the spot heavily, an interim step to slow down the process, but obviously not a soln for such a vitl system. To my question: I'd rather not take out the whole line. Has anyone ever spliced a section of good line in? If so, how bad was that job and what were the results? The spot witht he corrossion is very accessable - just above the spare. TIA, bem |
