A 3/16" (0.191") brake line on my Honda rusted through from the outside

What should I watch for when I splice in a repair section with
double-lap flare fittings? Advice on the Net is contradictory and not
too helpful.

TIA -JSW

I wouldn't splice into the existing brake line, on the general principle
that if it broke once, it'll break again. If you can replace the whole
thing in sections, with all new pieces, yourself, without major
disassembly, then that's to be contemplated.

brakes = safety item
safety item = don't mess around
