40-something brake hoses

[winguyjo]

it's a habit of mine to put metal in the recycling and garbage in the garbage so it was business as usual for me to cut the ends off these 40-year-old brake lines. i think the pic gives a good visual representation of why a rebuild kit, fresh brake fluid and a good bleed doesn't always solve a brake issue ...

ok... Just changed mine to all braided. Lot's better pressure on the pads.

Now that you've done brake lines consider rebuilding the master cylinders too, assuming you haven't done this already. Checkout Brakecrafters.com, i just rebuilt mine this past winter and what a difference it made on my`82 standard.
