[s-cars] Fixing Leaks cheapo method

[Mike Platt]

FWIW here is what I did. My lines were leaking from corrosion in those rubber mounts. I bought a mini pipe cutter. Cut out a section that was bad. Bought some cheap high pressure fuel line that fit over the steel line. put two hose clamps on that section and zip tied it back up to mounting point using past of the line mounting bracket. Did a few sections like that and never had an issue.

Haven't had many issues of late, but have a couple that I could use a
pointer or two with.

One is the infamous fuel line leak underneath, by passenger side door due to
corrosion.  I would like a cheesy but permanent fix because that prolly
doesnt exist, but I thought maybe some glop of Permatex then jb weld ?
I've known this was coming as I've been watching the line corrosion there
for some time.  I think it not much more than a pin head now but snow and
salt are on the horizon.

The other issue has also been around for some time and I think is related to
the brake fluid reservoir.  The IC brake light is always coming on when I go
around corners.  I believe it's the fluid float sensor... but can I just
jumper this?  Is it on the top or the bottom of the reservoir?

Other than that the pig travels on and can still motor on past anything in
it's way with ease.  Still rated a supecar, but a 14 yr old one.
