I finished replacing the rear rotors and pads, and bled the system.  After =
starting the car, before I backed out of the garage for a test drive, I gav=
e the pedal a couple presses.  The second went straight to the floor.

I've ruptured the hard brake line that runs to the RR wheelwell.  It's drip=
ping fluid about 24" ahead of the wheelwell, where it makes a 90 degree ben=
d toward the center of the car.

Does anyone have the part number for this brake line?  Or, advice on repair=
ing it if I don't need to replace it?  The line itself is pretty well ruste=
d, so I wonder if repairing is a good idea anyway.

Better yet, anyone have a parts car with fairly rust-free brake lines on it=
?  (fingers crossed)

Thanks ...
