Icon7 Replacing brake line from master cylinder to ABS system

I need to replace a leaking brake line that goes from my master cylinder to my ABS system.

The original line runs behind the engine, along the bottom of the firewall, behind much equipment, through various holders. It would be very difficult and time consuming to replace it with another stiff metal line.

Does anyone know of a flexible line that I can use? I've been able to find flexible lines for sale, that go to the 4 wheel cylinders, but not from the master cylinder to the ABS system.

Thanks!

There likely aren't any rubber lines that can withstand ABS built up pressure.

Use a metal line.....

DCFIVER, thank you for your reply!
I'm not necessarily looking for rubber; there are metal braided lines out there.
Thanks again!
