I was under my Mustang this weekend replacing my clutch cable (amazingly light pedal now, btw) when I noticed that there are some brake lines under the radiator that are corroding (they're looking worse than just surface rust).

They appear to be part of the ABS system.

Has anyone replaced these and know of a good source for these in stainless (and maybe some tips for minimize the time into the job)?

you mean on the rails running under the car? or where your brakes actually are going up to the MC?

No, I mean the brake lines that run under the radiator core support.

No leaks yet. I guess I'll price out some stainless brake line this weekend.
