My wife has a 2003 Crossfire Coupe, which she hardly uses. In fact it has only done 26K genuine miles. The problem is that where it has been parking outside for long periods, moisture has corroded the brake line just under the offside door. I have contact several breakers but due to safety, they wont break this part. I have no idea where I can get one from or how much it will cost. Most of the time that I search online for this part, all I can find is the short hose/line rather than the long hose that runs the length of the car. I have made a temporary fix using cable ties but it hasnt really worked as the brake fluid level continues to drop.
With all of the expertise and knowledge on this forum, I am hoping you can point me in the right direction where I can order one from and whether there is a part number that I should be quoting?
MOT is due next month so no point wasting my money until I have fixed this issue.
Were it me, I would just buy tubing the same size, bend it to shape and swadge the ends if needed.
Might have to buy a swadgeing tool and a tubing bender.
Thanks for the quick reply ala_xfire. I dont know enough about cars and when it comes to the brake system, I really wouldn't want to piece something together that isn't made to fit the crossfire. I could go to my local car parts supplier and ask them if they can provide something like that. Thanks for the idea.

Get it done by a good mechanic, by the time you buy the tools you could be back on the road and have no further use for the tools.
Like 180 say's - take it to a qualified brake shop and forget buying the tools unless you plan on doing the same thing for others. You didn't say, or I misread, where you are located but I wouldn't drive very far with cable tie's to depend on for my brakes.
