Folks,

I am in the midst of repairing rusted out fuel lines on the '85. While doing this I noticed the long rear hard brake line is badly rusted in small spots. It is not leaking, and the brakes work fine.

I am planning to POR-15 the small areas and put it back together.

OR

Can I put in a 6 inch hard line patch somehow with compression fittings? I dont want to replace the whole thing. Im already having too much fun with the fuel lines.

OR

Am I being a moron for not replacing the entire long length?

I think Im starting to go crazy with the rust related repairs. Never again will I buy a 123 from the rust belt.
