I drove it about a month ago - pedal went
almost to the floor.I would just drive it around
the block (very slowly)to keep everything working.
Anyway,I got to bleeding the brakes.Bubbles,
bubbles,& more bubbles.Bled the passenger side -
- didn't do much.Then I noticed the tear on the
brake line.I guess it could be worse.
Ordered two replacements from BPNW on Monday,
showed up today.Now I've GOT to replace them!
The question is.... should I get a lawyer &
sue British Leyland?They only lasted 34 years.
This is an outrage!

If your brake lines only lasted 34 years, perhaps you are using them too much. Try stopping less often, or reduce the amount of times you slow down. :smile:

I put in the new silicon brake fluid after I flushed my dirty lines with some of the regular stuff while rebuilding the master. -I'll no longer be worried about the damage that brake fluid can do. But the cool thing about the new stuff is the color (or colour, to be more politically correct). It's real easy to tell the line has been completly flushed, because the stuff coming out changes from clear, to bright blue. And since the reservoir is almost clear, it looks cleaner.

Stop putting sand in your brake fluid. It can cause all kinds of problems :wink: (sorry, couldn't resist)

...and here I thought that helped seat the seals....
