To spendy for a "learning" vehicle. All that rust is what the dr ordered for learning to weld sheet.

No it's not. Welding to rust is torture.

The idea would be to remove rust then weld. Not looking to make it perfect.

Well... She's going to a shop. Hard line into cylinder has rusted enough to drip. Enough brakes to stop her for now. Just need to find a shop that will use my parts and do the whole job.

And the shops here ... bah.


Option now is to replace the line from the splitter to the cylinder, and the cylinder. Can find cylinders but no one seems to have a clue what i need for the hard line. trying to avoid making one as i don't have tools. Any one have a part number I can reference?

Dont' think I haven't been driving her. She is going on a little drive in a few minutes. But yeah. Fail.


The suggestion is to just break down and get a flare tool or "flex" tube?

nothing wrong with buying a couple 4' chunks and some unions if you dont want to get into making lines from a 25' roll.

Get a flare tool and some nicop brake line that you can bend by hand. I've replaced all my lines with it on my XJ and my pickup

Problem is the only other vehicle that would need it is the MG and it has some freaky non-standard thing. Only non-new-since-I-bought-it lines on MLC are the two on the rear axle. Still may not be a bad idea though.

Progress up to lunch break.






Much to wingman disappointment it did not go up in flame. BFH was used. Post lunch will be bending hard line and learning how to make flares.

Not. One. Thing. Completed.

The nuts into the d35 breather/T are NOT standard. And the T is part of the flex line from frame. At this point I've no idea how to get this back together. Anyone know what the exact but is into that T?

Rust makes things bigger. Pound the socket that’s the next size down from whats sloppy onto it. Coax with hear if needed.

Then buy something less rusty from local once you’re done!
