Re: Shortening brake lines?

The problem with brake lines is they rust from the inside too. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air until saturated and over time it drops out and the steel factory lines began rusting. That one reason why it is recommended that brake fluid is replaced regularly. So old lines may be fine until that time you really hammer the brakes and that rusted spot you can't see fails.
