Subject:      Brake line corrosion - repair?

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,
