Okay - the gas tank has been removed from my van (86 syncro) - lots of
prying - that thing is stuck in there plenty tight and talk about 23 years
of dirt and dust.

So whilst playing with the tank, I became very familiar with the three-way
coupling which transfers brake fluid to both rear brakes.  Can anyone tell
me whether they have ever replaced the very long brake-line (about
2.8m) from the coupling at the rear to basically whatever brake component it
connects to - some type of cylinder roughly somewhere underneath the front
passenger seat.

Anyway is there a part out there or do folks manufacture these themselves?
Mine is pretty corroded and with the motor, transmission and tank out - now
is the time to replace.  If someone can steer me in the right direction I'd
be most happy.

Mucho gracias.
