Is there anyplace to buy one new or do I have to get a used one? I searched on advanced auto and some other stores but they aren't showing the brake line on the rubber hose. Any help would be much appreciated.

The Rubber hoses are available. If you are talking about the metal lines you can buy a piece of the approx. size and bend it yourself. Use the old line as a pattern. You can use a tubing bender or bend it eassily by hand. Take the old hose with youe to get the proper fittings and diameter of line.

its not for me its my buddies so I cant say for sure but he says the old line the rubber ends are crimped on. The metal line in the center has a hole in it. I saw the rubber ends for sale and knew you can buy the tube but just not sure how the rubber hose would attach to the metal hose. Would I need some type of high pressure hose clamp or something?

The center hose is also listed. The ends of the metal lines have fittings that screw into fittinings on the rubber lines. If the fitting has a hole through it it uses a hollow bolt called a banjo bolt to attach it. The front hoses are attached to the calipers with a banjo bolt. Be sure you replace the copper washers. The center rubber hose has a hole through it ti attach it to the axle.

If I remember correctly the center rear hose is mounted to a bracket, (that is part of the hose assembly), and is mounted to the top 2 outer rear end cover bolts. And everyone I ordered from advanced auto, 87 or 88, never looked like the obsolete original.
