Last night I'm in the EB wagon and had to brake suddenly. Things are ok then my foot goes to the floor and I lose brakes.
This morning I have a look and the Brake Fail light is on and there's bugger all fluid in the system.
Have a look under the car and it looks like fluid is coming out about half way down the car.....in line with the back seats.
The brake lines there look corroded and I'd say the line had split and the fluid has come out.
Got quoted $55 bux for replacement lines from wreckers..is that about right ?...also, would the lines from an EL sedan fit in there you think as I have one sitting I could scavange parts from if needed...

Anything to watch for with replacing these things??

Thanks for the advice guys!

I doubt it as the sedans are a shorter wheelbase than the wagons so the lines would be about 100mm too short. Fairlane/LTD ones might fit though.
