Here's my problem:
My OE fitting on the front passenger side fenderwell line (held in the bracker where it connects to the rubber line that goes to the calipers) is pretty much trashed (head and threads). I need to take that OE hard line out but is it one line all the way to the master cyclinder or is there a union somewhere on the passenger side of the engine compartment where I can disconnect it and pull it out?? Thanks for any help.

You might try checking with In Line Tube, they made some lines for me.

I appreciate it. I'm trying to determine if I should replace the entire line or just cut of the end of the line, put on a new fitting, and flare the line. Any suggestions?

I thought there was a union on the fire wall. I'll have to run and look again, if you need a new one I have a 85 parts car that should be the same....

That union is for the rear brake line, not the right front.

Ah... Well either way, I have a parts car. I could probably take it out this weekend and have UPS box it up for me.

The passenger line is one piece. good luck getting it out without bending it a little. It routes up through the fender along the firewall past the booster then underneath the booster and another hard line then back up towards the proportioning valve. Sucks removing it, good luck.
