First, I'd like to say sorry if this has been asked & answered. Every time I try to search, it just freezes up.

Now my situation: I bought a 1995 240sx, everything was fine on it until I got it home. A little after I got it home I noticed brake fluid under the car so I jacked it up & looked under it & sure enough my brake lines are rusted out.

So, how much brake line will I need to purchase to replace all brake lines from engine bay all the way back. Where should I buy the brake line from & what all tools should I get & fittings? First time doing brake lines so any information would be good. Thanks in advance!

The hard lines are rusted out? You can buy 3' or 5' lengths and bend em your self. If it's just one small section that was rusted I'd replace just that section and cut and splice in a new length, but if it looks like there is a lot of corrosion in other places don't risk it, replace the whole thing. You may wanna check junkyards in your area and see if you can get lucky.

Yeah the hard lines are rusted out in a few spots. But no junkyards around me have 240s. So thinking I might just have to buy all brand new.
