Brake Line Issues

temj3 · 09-10-2006, 04:41 PM

hey guys, Thanks again for all your continued help with solving issues with my 68 Conv.. I think she is running now pretty good but i just realized I need brakes to drive her... silly me....

I have got another question for everyone...I need to replace the brake line from the proportioning valve to the differential. I squirts out brake fluid everytime I press the gas... Any tips on how this can be done easily?

Thanks in advance for all your assistance...

Replacing brake lines in a PIA. You need to cut, bend and flare the steel lines to fit. Or...you can purchase replacement lines from one of the many Mustang parts supplier and thread it along and through the frame and undercarriage respectfully. The later is the more prefered method. And a better repair.
