Brake line from master cylinder leaking

1999 Astro, The brake lines from the master cylinder to the ABS control on the drivers front are corroded and leaking. Is there a vendor that has those lines as a stock item or do I need to custom bend them.


Thanks

Re: Recommendations for covering windows.

Thanks for the pics. I did a little cardboard mockup today and I think I have it figured out. I will still be able to access the slider vent windows yet cover the windows and hang some cabinets. I have the fiberglass high roof so there is some storage but any extra I can squeeze out of the van will ...

Re: Recommendations for covering windows.

Woodbutcher, Paint is in the plans. My only complaint about the windows are that they waste so much space that could be used to hang cabinets and such from. My van came with custom fitted blinds that work well but I am planning to spend approx. 6 to 8 months living out of the Astro on an extended tr...

Recommendations for covering windows.

I have 99 Astro with a high top conversion that I am stripping and building to camp out of. The sides of the van are full of windows that I would love to do away with. I want to keep the window on the slider and probably the one one the rear lift gate. Any suggestions on which would be more recommen...

Re: I there any way to isolate entry lights?

Kid, Thanks that worked. My switch is broken but I spliced in another switch and they went off just like they are supposed to. I new I needed a new switch panel but didn't how much.


Thanks again

Re: I there any way to isolate entry lights?

HP, I am still trying to chase down an owners manual. The issue I am having is they stay on all the time. I thought they would go off after a few minutes but they stay on and drain the battery when I am camping. I have been using the backend as the kitchen area and with the back open most of the day...

I there any way to isolate entry lights?

I have a 1999 Astro and have noticed that if I open 1 door or lift gate that ALL of the entry / foot lights come on. Is there any way to isolate each light so they only come on when you open that particular door?


Thanks

Re: Temp sending unit for 1999 Astro

Thank you, The pics help a lot.

I am hoping it is the one for the gauge. My gauge is stuck where the temp never drops below 200° even first thing in the morning on a cold start. I have a new thermostat and I can tell it is working so I am hoping it is this temp sensor.

Re: I need a picture taken Please help.

Drummer, Thanks for the links. But that information leaves me a little confused. When I bought the van it had a gasket on it that went all the way around the back opening of the van that the doors closed against but the links show only the drip gasket at the top that the lift hatch closes against.
