Re: 1997 Crown Vic rear brake lines
I found a shop (Tubes & Hoses) who would make duplicates of the steel lines in one day. Just bring them the old lines and they use them as a template.
Well, I picked up the car this morning, and the pedal was very soft and low. I decided to drive it home and bring it back next week for a bleeding.
I looked at the repair and they cut out the bad lines(about a foot) and used compression fittings to crib in new sections.
I could have done that myself in 20 minutes or less and they charged me 4 hours labor plus 86 for the brake flush.
I don't want compression fittings on my brake lines. In NY I know that's against the law and I believe it's not allowed on a Federal level.
Is it legal to use compression fittings on brake lines?
Does anyone know?
