Easily seen if you jack up front O/S and lie alongsidecar.
Pull pipes out of clips (they retain moisture) and wire brush pipes. Treat with grease, Waxoyl or paint with Hammerite smooth.
There are short lengths under wings running to rubber hoses going to calipers
If they are really badly corroded, replace for your own safety
