brake line rusted through

[kutter79]

so i found out that my rear brake line is rusted through and starting to leak right under the cab. I hate to have to make my own. does anyone know where or who still sells them? tried a couple local auto part stores say they don't. thanks for the help.

Try NAPA , they should carry them.

why not just make your own? it's easy and it's cheap. you can probably do it for less than $10. plus you can route it a little different to keep it out of the rust prone areas.

If you mean "Who sells a full-length brake line already bent to fit a Comanche" -- it doesn't exist. Not even a dealer can do that for you.

 

If you can get the original off intact, you can send it to Classic Tubing and they can duplicate it for you. It'll take time, and it'll cost big bux.

I'm a big fan of the straight lines with the fittings already attached. :thumbsup: I did that on my '88 MJ when I redid everything. Just bend them to shape and bolt them on (to do the line running from front to back, I joined 3 straight lines together). But that only works if they have the fittings that match the truck. When I converted to the '95 XJ double booster, I had to buy bulk tubing and reuse the fittings from the new and old parts on my '90 MJ.

 

Some gratuitous brake line photos. :D
