I've got plenty of rust on my '81 CJ5, but the brake lines are solid. Here
in sunny Southern California, I guess I'm protected from the problems the
rest of you guys have to deal with.

In Massachusetts they used to put calcium chloride on the roads. Now they
use more "environmentally friendly" stuff like sodium chloride or magnesium
chloride. I have seen them put it on so thick that even the tree hugger
friendly stuff would kill all roadside vegetation. Here in Silverton we
can't even afford sand so we drive on packed snow.

Anyway, in Massachusetts where I grew up fifteen years is all you could
expect from a set of brake lines, and God help you if you thought the
fittings would just unscrew with a wrench.

Cheers,

Earle
