Started off this morning in my 1997 D1 for the soccer tourney (in from Raleigh) and the brakes seemed soft and then completely gone.

I have a crack in the bend of the caliper hard line (front left).

Anyone local that can recommend a shop her in Myrtle to get me back on the road to Raleigh?

Thanks!

Trying to find an alternative fix outside of having a Land Rover part. Anyone know the fitting sizes that I could possible cross reference for another part?

Go to the auto store and buy a short section of 4mm brake line with metric bubble flares and a cheap hand line bender.

This is really easy. Go to any auto parts store and get an 18" length of 3/16" bubble flare brake line with metric fittings. Bend it by hand to fit.
