I'm *still* looking for a paint shop I can trust......

Battered & grimy yes . it sits out by the curb , awaiting my beck and call .

Got home from Work last night , had a nosh , sat in my pain chair and passed the f*#k out ~ didn't wake up 'till past 10:00 PM , I hate this bullcrap .

[diesel_mercedes] metal brake line question

 

I am looking at replacing several of the metal brake lines on my 1961 190Db.

These people offer brake lines, but when I enter the info into their Compatibility query, it says they won't fit the 180D or 190D, 1961 or 1962.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380483474068

 

I have measured the threaded fitting on my car and get 10 x 27 metric. (27 threads may not be exactly right.) I can get the short piece that runs from the master cylinder to the left front brake from Niemoeller in Europe for 5,50 € with 6,55 € shipping.

What have others done when thinking about their old, possibly rusted on the inside, metal brake tubing?  Bill in Oregon
