Neither do we. At least without a much, much better description of exactly where it is, what it looks like, and what is operating properly and what is not. What the other end is connected to would be a huge help too.

I would not recommend driving it until you figure out what’s missing. I’ll bet it’s something other than the brake line, but take the safe route…don’t drive it.
