rust

I have MK1 Cupra R Brembo calipers. On one the metal pipe is corroded. I need to get a new one of these pipes or get a custom braided hose that would replace the metal pipe. I was looking at getting custom brake lines made but don't know what fittings I need on each side of the braided hoses.

Any idea whats the best way to get rid of rust???

Hi Guys, I have Brembos on my Ibiza and it really annoys me how much bare metal (non braking) is exposed on the disk, which instantly rusts up!! I tried spraying the surfaces with heat resistant silver exhaust paint but the rust has started to come through that too. Has anyone got a...
