    70 convertible: Repair cracked fluid line?
    « on: June 13, 2020 - 09:39:41 AM »
    I just bought a 70 Challenger convertible and discovered one of the lines is damaged and leaks. The line is 1/4" hard plastic line. Possible to fix by cutting and putting in a union like used in copper tubing?

    Well scratch that idea. I think it would have worked but the lines are brittle and are easily cracked. Going to replace with new set.  :grinyes:

    Any thoughts on where to source replacements?
