i have snaped the metal front left brake line does anyone know hoe to fix this.
i was thinking of geting a peice of fuel line sliding the metal in each end and use some twist clamps to tighten each end.

Get a new line, they are not safe to repair. And don't flare your own new line unless you know what you are doing, remember your life could very well depend on your brakes so do not take short cuts.

LOL!!!! Way to kill yourself and other road users. This is now the new most retarded thing I have heard.

Go to a wreckers and get another line. Alternately, you could take your line out and get a brake place to make you a new line. Remember that you will have to bleed your brakes after you do this.

you can get them made up at places like Pirtek and Enzed.
not so expensive, and much cheaper than crashing your car.

This is gold. Now I've got something to laugh about for a little while!

deffinetly go to a brake place. or metal enginer place. isnt to much to have fixed up... if u want to be a lil cooler than get one from a wrecker and replace it... not a brain wrenching taskk

ahahah

I bought 3m of 3/16 bundy tube (brake line) from Pirtek today and cost me $6.50 and would recomment getting the ends flared by a pro. However in Aaron's case, get it all done by a pro mate or just let me know when you go for a drive so I can stay home!
