corroded brake/fuel lines
Seems my brake/fuel lines are showing some corrosion issues. I think they are the only thing on the car I haven't touched or replaced. I can buy the OEM lines from majestic honda but they are pickup only due to length. I live about 45 minutes from majestic so that works out. Replacing these lines looks like a big job. I did get some good information from 99sidude as he recently replaced some sections. He told me the fuel tank has to be dropped and to saturate the hardware with penetrating oil so nut plates do not break. I use a 1:1 auto tranny fluid/acetone mixture that works wonders on rust. One of my big concerns is the routing of the lines into the engine bay area. I'll research the task and post any findings here. Please reply with your brake/fuel line experiences or any tricks that may help.
