Rusted Brake Line Repair!
Seems rusted brake lines happen, Under the cowling the 2 lines are held in by plastic clamps along with the fuel lines
These seem to be weak spots for rusting.
Any auto parts store has 3/16 inch line and repair fittings.
Each coupling is 5/8 in long so cut the replacement 5/8 inch shorter on each end.
Have fun
Don't forget to bleed the brakes!

couple hours work. Some pics.

Mercedes’ lines will be metric, not in inch measurements.
