Never could understand why the brake lines aren’t made out of stainless steel tubing. Tremendous hydraulic pressure builds up in these lines to operate the brake system. Doesn’t take much corrosion to compromise their integrity.

Add to that the fact that regular glycol-based brake fluid is extremely hygroscopic (absorbs water), and as result the lines can rust from the inside out.

My 1992 Honda accord never needed new brakes lines. It lasted to 332,373 miles before the engine block cracked.
