My long brake line that goes front to back on the van ('85) blew out under
the drivers compartment yesterday. I can see the leak (it was rusty there).
Most of the line looks to be in good shape and I need to get only 6 more
months out of this van before it is decomissioned; is there a reason why I
can't cut the line to either side of the bad area (about a foot) and
flare/install fittings as needed to install a 1foot patch?

Or do I have to replace the whole monstrous line?

What have people done?

Thanks!
