C-1 flushing brake lines

[Paul Baermann]

I would like to know if there is a good way to flush out brake lines. The car sat for ten years in a garage, (almost a barn story) the brake fluid turned to slug. I'm installing a brake kit and was trying save the brake lines. Thanks for any suggestions.

I'll let the experts respond to flushing. If you decide to replace them, I have an extra, new, full set of brake lines. Email me off line.

Replace the brake lines.

I agree with Patrick, trying to salvage the old lines is a blueprint for disaster. If the brake system is as bad as you say then there is a good possibility that the lines are corroded on the inside. With a single master cylinder system system, one pinhole equals zero brakes! Replace the lines.
