My Bugeye's rear brake lines feel clogged - like they have collapsed some 
over time.  

I guess the car has had too high a colesteral rating, bad LDL, for too many 
years and the fluid will not pass to supply the rear brakes with enough 
pressure. 

Earlier on I was advised by some good folks on the Spridgets list that the 
rear lines on the Bugeyes tend to falter like this over time.  So, I ordered 
the 
below part\s from MOSS.

When the part\s came today in the mail I was surprised that all they were was 
three fairly short braided lines.  I will install them and they look like 
they are well made - but I am thinking that these are not what I need (most 
likely) to clear things up? 

I was under the idea that I would need to replace the long length of line 
that runs under the body. . or is that long length that I am concerned about 
copper and as such I do not need to be concerend about it, or? 

Thanks so much taking time to read this.
