metal brake lines obsolete

[tommu56]

The car my grandson drives brake line from the master cylinder rusted out its metal with a flexible braided piece in the middle. i think i need the flex part but cant find anything close I can make universal rigid line bent to fit. Then I found inverted flare to sae adaptors and I am thinking out side the box to get a hydraulic hose made up to fit.
Anyone think I'm crazy?????

I don't believe that fitting can handle the pressure. Can't buy the right one from a dealer?

Can you piece in a regular brake line like at the caliper? Steel fittings, and double flare.
I used the cupronickel line on my winter beater

Yes its the flexible part I'm concerned about I dont think theres enough room for a pigs tail to take the vibration.
After looking the adaptors and the hoses for them aren't approved for road use.
I'll remove it and see I can fit a pigs tail on that part were the flex line is.

JMHO, but brake lines are more important than fuel lines. I want my fuel to flow. I want my coolant to flow. But I really really NEED my brakes to work. Triple check the pressure limits on the parts.
