Just been told by mechanic (not @ a dealership) that my brake lines are so corroded they are crumbling (possibly due to rust-proofing applied prior to my owning it.) He says the lines are no longer available from ford & that no one makes an after-market part. 1. Is this true? He says best suggestion is to cut the lines off a junker & install. 2. Is this reasonable?

thanks

Hi
RUN AWAY, DON, T WALK RUN.
No mam he is wrong. May not be avail from dealer but takeing them off a junker is very dangerous.
If they are rubber hoses they are avail from advance auto pep boys any parts store.

If they are metal they can be made by any reputable mechanic.

I thought that about the junk yard idea.

They are metal. But a quick google search found several places to purchase brake lines. Of course, since I know next to nothing about cars, I don't know if they're the right ones.
