Rusted Brake Line

Hi All,

I went to add brake fluid to the rear section of the fluid reservoir and was shocked to see it dripping down from the chassis. The line running forward to the brake controller had rusted through at the bracket holding it to the chassis. I'm looking to replace all the lines now, but can only find the ones going back out to the wheels.
It's a 2003 Damon Daybreak 3270 on a Workhorse P32 chassis. Any help tracking down the part numbers would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Mark C

Just need to get the same size line and bend to fit, can get a small hand bender, not that hard to do, can buy in different length's to make work. That way you won't have to flare the ends. To flare you need a double flare kit.

Just purchase a nickel copper brake line. This can be bent by hand. Take off the old brake line and use it as as "template" to bend the new line. Purchase a flairing jig to do the ends along with the brass fittings.

Just make sure you do not use compression fittings, only double flare ends.

I believe that is one of the loaner tools at Autozone.
