Don't think I'd go the NASCAR route on something so critical.

Here we go again... If it ain't built by MB it ain't good enough. What a pile of crap. Absolutely nothing wrong with going aftermarket. Its obviously a "critical" part. Thats why I suggested using a replacement that FAR EXCEEDS any MB standard past, present or future. These are aviation grade, as in-FAA approved, can't fail, bulletproof lines. Stock MB lines may be fine but there is absolutely no way that they will pass to FAA standards. This keep-it-stock mentality drives me nuts sometimes. Stock happens to be 20yr old thinking. I think anyone can see we have come a long way since then. Keep whats good about the old ideas and utilize the new tech when we can. That or stick your head in the sand and be a Luddite. At the very least a hydraulic shop can replace the leaky rubber lines with crimped-on braided stainless. There is no way you can argue that ain't an upgrade. Rant off. RT
