Hardware Store Brake Lines
Another one from a follower on Facebook, who tells a story of brake line repairs you never want to make:
My father in law had a brake line rust out and pop. He slid 1/4″ line over the 3/16″. Then used rubber fuel hose and a bunch of hose clamps on each end. Smh by far the worst repair I’ve ever seen.
As soon as I saw the repair I cut the line out and replaced it. Then went and yelled at him. I told him to stop going to the hardware store to fix his car.
Oh dear…
Anyone seen my 9/16?
That one was from a follower on Facebook, who noticed this while working on a 89 Mustang. FYI, that’s the ‘engine mount.’
