While I was replacing the brake calipers, hoses, pads and some lines I figured I should replace the hoses leading from the reservoir to master cylinder. I ordered some parts from International Auto Parts but they turned out to be the wrong hose. You need something that will stand up to brake fluid in this area so you can't mess around. I tried some hydraulic hose, which was recommended from www.fiatspider.com in the forums area. The hose was so stiff I could not bend it properly. Luckily after much hunting I found the proper part at Midwest Bayless online. You can pick up the part here. I needed two feet. I had a good amount left over. Now that everything is replaced I can fill with DOT 3 brake fluid and bleed the lines. My car will stop! Now to find out if it will go. I plan to obtain a fan and shroud from my Uncle and get this thing put back together. I also need to reassemble the whole fuel line system from tank to hard lines. Wish me luck.
