Corrosion has destroyed my brake lines Options

[Tech9ine]

alright, so I'm in a pickle. It seems my brake lines (the hard lines on the bottom of the chassis, not the rubber hoses) have rusted through and are leaking brake fluid all over the damn place. This sucks because i did not budget for this. And because my car has no pressure in the lines now and effectively has no braking power. I need to fix this ASAP, the search ii did only yeilded results for replacing the rubber hoses, i need the whole prebent tubing, preferably in braided stainless steel to preevnt this from happening again. Where is the cheapest i can get this? and whats the price difference between an oem steel replacement and the stainless steel. I'm having a tough time finding this out on my own. Thanks.

glad ot hear things worked out for you

did you replace both lines from the the gas tank to the back of the engine bay ? just strait lines ?

yep. Straight through, from the engine bay to the rear brakes. Took a long time, but it wasn't too hard. I didn't drop the tank, i just ran the lines around it instead. seems to be working out. I ghetto zip tied them so they wouldn't hang. But whatever, it works. I just bought 5 60" 3/16 straight lines pre-flared. copied the stock bends and fed them through, i had a friend help me out huge, (he took all the old lines out and did the first bit of the new lines while i was at work). but yeah, i still have those small pieces around the tank hanging, because its easier to juct leave them there, (non-functional), rather than take them out.
