probably needs new handbrake cable but worth doing both, obv discs, and brake pipes are piece of cake, if you have a pipe flaring kit to manufacture them as dont think you can get pre-made, to be fair, i only ever wire brush the od one and cover with grease then it should pass if corrosion no longer visable, its 9 times outta 10 surface corrosion anyway
