Mattdel I just went out and bought some lines and pressure fittings im going to give it a try. They sold metwo 50inch lines and 4 pressure fittings. One more thing I have to install a ford motorsports pv and that bolt inbetween the two lines is a bitch to get out. Any special way of removing it?

How about you just cut the end clean on the broken line, put your fitting back on (or use a new one)and put in a double flare on your old brake line instead of pulling the whole line and replacing

You should be able to just replace the fitting that broke off the line. All you do is put the new fitting on the line(the broken on in your picture), then put in the flare with the tool...no other parts are needed

I get what your saying and I read up on how to double flare... but I cant use the old fitting because some of the steel snaped off inside. Ill just pick up 2 new fittings andflare the line like you said. What size is the tubing 3/16th's?
