Hi
I have a '68 MGBGT that has sprung a leak in the brake line going to the rear wheels. It is in the tube, not at a connection, and I think the line is the original (4th owner) because it's really corroded.
One of the mail order parts places has them, but another does not. If they don't does that mean we can buy 3/16" brake lines at our local auto parts place and THE FITTINGS WILL FIT? Am I that lucky?
If so, to get the right length, I would have to cut and flare an end or 2. Any secrets or special tools there? I'm trying to see if I'm shooting myself in the foot by trying to make them.
Thanks in advance for your help.
