Brake system soft line question
I am changing out most of my brake system, and I found the soft lines that run from the reservoir are all dry rotted and disgusting. There is also some rust right under there, so I'm also going to guess it was leaking.
So, I am unable to locally source any special made "brake hose" (please keep in mind, I'm talking about the soft lines that feed down to the master cylinder and carry no pressure.) It is the same size as standard fuel line, and appears to be fuel line. (pretty sure the PO just used 8mm standard)
I've heard that brake fluid is especially nasty. Is fuel line going to be able to stand up to this job?
Thanks!
