Snapped the front brake line going to the master today. What's the best route for replacing. I was in the process of replacing the hose out to the left front tire. I plan on running a new line from the master to te left front tire. And all the way across to the right front. 92 f250. Do they make oem fitment. Or will I have to bend my own etc. thanks

Is there enough line there to just re-cut and re-flare it?

Good question. Didn't even know you could do That. But also I was thinking. 20 year old truck, lines are probably fragile and never been replace. 371xxx kms on my old girl. Gotta love the 7.3

O'Reillys and NAPA built all kinds of custom hydraulic lines. I'm sure they could fabricate one to fit. I'm not sure I'd bet my life on junkyard brakelines.

Got it done. Got a 60 inch length and 50 inch I believe. Hand bend everything. Replace brake hoses going to the calipers. Think it came to about fifty in parts and took two hours. Angle grinder was my best friend to get rid of the rust welded clips
