brake line that runs to the rear ruptured due to rust. the bad part of the line was cut out and a new piece added using compression fittings. QUESTION= is it legal and/or safe to fix brake line as described above? (several note on the web say to never use compression fittings due to high pressure in the lines)
thanks
