I have a corroded steel brake pipe on the car, it is only about 50mm at the rear end, the rest of the line to the front of the car is sound. It would therefore be easier, if it is possible, to shorten it, flare the end and use a joining piece to new pipe for the remainder of the length.
Some say it is not possible with steel, only copper. But I have heard that it can be done.
Any useful advice from personal experience would be much appreciated.
(It is an old classic car, the front part of the pipe is inaccessable without major dismantling, hence my preferred approach)
