leaky brake line :|
ok, so my brake line decided to blow this morning on my way to work.
Its leaking right where the steal line from the front meets the rubber hose at the rear.
Now I quickly measured how long this line will be 120" roughly.
Who carries a line that long? or does it need to be custom made from an auto parts?

You can run shorter pieces (as few as possible) connected together. Most places sell lines I know as long as 48". Otherwise you can buy the brake line, in a coil, a flaring tool, the ends you need, and make your own.
I suggest the former, because since you're asking you've never done this before.

A: Buy a large roll of line, and make your own with the specific fittings and such, cut to your specs.
B: Get a few large pieces and connect them with some unions.
EDIT:And it looks like blue beat me to it....haha

Just spent the better half of 2 hours breaking the line on one end, and bending and pulling the other through the engine. Just need to break the fitting off the T hose at the axle then I can match/ get a line made at 7:30am
Tomorrow is gonna suck.
