Planning to replace all of my brake lines. One thing led to another with a different project and I noticed how crusty they look. I know its a common problem and I don't want to wait for them to start leaking before fixing.
I noticed that I have short stretches of braided, flexible lines between my master cylinder and the proportioning valve, then again between the proportioning valve and the ABS module. I'm not sure if "braided line" is the right term, but hopefully y'all know what I mean. Attached a pic -- not super clear because I took it at night.
All of the kits that I have seen, or if I were to bend myself, only have hard lines. I have only seen hard lines in the youtube tutorials I have watched. Is it okay and expected to replace the flexible lines with hard lines?
PS: I do have a quadrasteer truck. I don't think it is relevant for the front portion, but do know that the rear brake line configuration is slightly different.
