Help Needed - Hard Brake Line
Hello Guys,
i need your help.
i noticed a leak of oil in the hard brake line, near the driver side / rear section of the Car.
In attached you can see a part sheet (of a C6 Corvette) that shows the part i would need (N°4)
that are the twin pipes that goes all the way from the ABS pump in the front, to the rear.
can someone plaese suggest where order? or find a code of that part?
(i cannot get to the dealer, i live in Italy and we do not have corvette dealers or parts dealers.. so i will have to purchase from US)
i have a 2014 C7 Z51 pack M7.
Thanks!
Alessio

Hmm, because of the length for shipping and procurement difficulty you could consider having a local quality shop make one! I need to do that for a rear line on my Street Rod just haven't gotten around to it.
Sure hope mine is the line fitting and not that 1960's Caddy caliper that incorporated a parking brake. Caddy only had it for two years as it mechanically activated the disk brake piston. Useless!

I agree a local shop should be able to fix the brake line by splicing in a new piece and using the proper fittings to hold a seal on a brake line. A lot simpler than trying to order one from the states with the risk of having it get damaged during shipping.
