I guess this question would apply to dodge or ford brakes...
My f-350 was lifter before I got it. I think when they did the lift the front brake flex hoses wernt quite ling enough so
they swiveled the little brackets where the flex line mounts to the frame. Associated with this it appears that on the hard line
side of that bracket they bent the hard line about 1/8 inch behind the tube nut. The back of the nut has chewed through about half the thickness of the line back there. This hard line is pretty long and runs from that coupling at the flex line all the way up to the ABS manifold. Im betting that line would be major expensive from ford.
Is there any safety reason why I couldn't splice in a short segment using screw together fittings- thereby replacing the end where it screws into the flex line coupling ???????
The line is about .200 inches outside- in between sizes for a plumbing flare tool- so there must be a special sized
flare tool for brake lines (?)
Any thoughts ?
