Subject:      Brake line replacement.

Yes yes, I know that Bob Hoover recently wrote a very informative spiel on this very subject but I was wondering if I SHOULD replace my brake lines. You see I bought this '66 Westy with no brakes ('cept hand brake). I look in the master cylinder and jar, and both are bone dry. I removed the master cylinder and had no fluid come from any of the three(?) lines at all (which reminds me-why are there three brake lines coming out of the cyl.?). This bus hasn't been registered since 1983 so I'm none too surprised. Here's the question, should I try to flush out and use the existing lines or should I just replace the whole system? What would YOU do? TIA -Erik
