    My steele brake line has developed a leak near the master cylinder. Is there a braided stainless option to replace the rigid bent steele?

    Thanks

    You could take it to a brake shop and have them make a new one.. I have not seen flexible lines available other than the ones going to the wheel cylinders.

    Im not aware of anyone that makes braided lines at a decent price that are made up to length.

    If its the one to the front, just measure it and buy a premade line with fittings from the local auto parts store for $5. If its to the rear, either buy two premades and use a union or a length of hose, fittings and tools and make your own.

    Good luck.

    I make all my own stainless steel lines up for my vehicles, you can buy the parts online and there is no special tools required, I haven't had one leak either
