alright, so I'm in a pickle. It seems my brake lines (the hard lines on the bottom of the chassis, not the rubber hoses) have rusted through and are leaking brake fluid all over the damn place. This sucks because i did not budget for this. And because my car has no pressure in the lines now and effectively has no braking power. I need to fix this ASAP, the search ii did only yeilded results for replacing the rubber hoses, i need the whole prebent tubing, preferably in braided stainless steel to preevnt this from happening again. Where is the cheapest i can get this? and whats the price difference between an oem steel replacement and the stainless steel. I'm having a tough time finding this out on my own. Thanks.
