Is your father chronically depressed?
Has he expressed suicidal thoughts?
I ask these questions because someone who believes that a hydraulic brake line can be repaired with tape is…not someone who values his own life or the lives of his passsengers and other folks whom he encounters on the road.
As texases stated, you CANNOT repair hydraulic brake lines with tape.
Perhaps it is time to take Dad’s car keys (both sets!) away from him if his judgment is so impaired that he believes this to be an acceptable way of repairing his leaking brake lines.
No, I am not kidding about taking his car keys away.
How would you feel if he decides to overrule you and do his cheapo, sure-to-fail repair job, and then winds up killing some people when his brakes fail? Even if he “doesn’t drive the car that much”, any attempt to put this car back on the road with leaking brake lines that have been “repaired” in this manner is sure to end in tragedy.
