Oh boy. I knew I would have to replace many steel and rubber lines.
On this project vehicle. In addition to:-
1) Leaking fuel lines (haven't decided)
2) Leaking potable water lines (going with PEX).
3) Leaking radiator lines (looking next)
There is also leaking brake lines.
So whilst I have sprayed 'Ed's Red' aka 50:50 acetone:Dexron ATF. and am giving it time to work before I spray more.
Anyone have a list of the various lengths of brake line. I see JEGS had my favorite Nickel-copper in various lengths. I wouldn't mind ordering the pre-made lengths and then some 25 foot for the longer sections. A bit less work.
Anyone have actual lengths and sizes. Otherwise I will have to wait a few days, or until the weekend to pull them off and measure.
Thanks.

Sorry, I don't have the lengths, but I can put in my recommendation for the nickle/copper lines. I have been using them on all of my project vehicles. Because the bend much easier I am able to work much more quickly, and enerally come out with a very professional looking job.
When I replaced the brake lines on the GMC I went to AutoZone and bought multiple sections of various lengths, used what I needed and returned the rest.
Good Luck, it sounds like you have plenty of fun ahead.
