Rear Brake Lines Rusted Out - Anyone replace the hard lines with Stainless Steel?

Hey Guys,

One of the rear brake lines rusted out under the big black plastic protection shield. I am going to pop it off and replace all the brakes lines going to the back of the battle wagon but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on doing it? It looks like stainless steel or copper lines would be the best option so that rust is never a factor. It looks like I need the following:

3/16" line
Bubble Flaring tool
M10 fittings
Bending tool

Anyone have any recommendations on the tools or where to get them?


As always, thanks guys.
