Default Busted Brake line.

Just busted my metal brake line that runs along the front axel on my gu patrol,

Just wondering whats my best option go to Nissan and get a replacement which will prob cost a arm and a leg, or can brake places make replacement ones.

Anyone had this problem before and what did you do all advice helpful cheers.

I found a leak in the "T" peice on top of the front diff today. What a coincidence??

Booked for Wednesday. I could'nt be bothered even trying to fix that. If the 1 line is cracked, just get it replaced.

Brake place can do it mate - or even some mobile guys can do it also.

While your at it replace the flexy lines with braided ones. I did mine and the brake pedal feel is better. Also had them extendend for the lift. So yopu could do both at the same time.
