[DeTomaso] Front Brake leak

[Mike Drew]

Wayne,

 Those brake lines are *45 years old*!!!!!

They ALL should have been replaced at LEAST 20 years ago!!!

This is not a fuzzy dice accessory. This is your LIFE we are talking about.  You’re lucky you haven’t already crashed the car.

You don’t replace one hose. You replace ALL of them. And hoses are vehicle-specific. You won’t find them at Autozone. This isn’t a 2003 Ford we are talking about. 

Pick your favorite Pantera parts vendor, and order a set of braided stainless/Teflon hoses. Install them, flush the old fluid from the lines and replace with quality DOT3 or DOT 3/4 fluid, and consider yourself VERY lucky.
