Splice in steel/hard brake line. Source for fittings/tubing

[GeneinNC]

Splice in steel/hard brake line. Source for fittings/tubing. Need to splice in section to replace part of steel line near flex hose to center fitting over the diff. Tubing rusted out.

Need to get brakes operational to test a/c before dismantling the car for parts. Drive line goes from '76 into my '73.

Driveway much too steep to control on and off the tow dolly. Need to get it to the A/C shop to see if condenser, and more important, evaporator are good.

'76 parts car has a hard line splice now near one caliper.

tubing with hose clamps.

That is how BMW completed the run on the tiis from the hard line to the fuel pump.

Are you really talking about brake lines, Bill?

I wouldn't be comfortable with flexible fuel line spliced into the brake circuit.

I read it as fuel line.

I would just replace the whole run.

Getting a good flare onto existing tubing is not easy,

and replacement lines are cheap.

and available at many auto parts stores.

I used a compression fitting to join 2 lines (the brake line "kit" that I bought for my tii did not have the longer tii line for the rear so I spliced in a short section just before the "T." No problems in over 40,000km.
