Help! Brake Line Question

[MtnTrucker]

Guys,

I have a stainless steel brake line that runs from the frame to the rear axle. Unfortunately, I toasted it accidentally when I was welding on the body but had left the ground clamp hooked to the diff from some earlier work there. It got real hot, caught on fire and now of course is shot.

Any ideas where I can find one of these or have one made? It uses a 9mm female fitting at the frame and (I believe) an 11mm male fitting that goes into the T block on the diff. The axles are out of a 69 FJ40 thus the old style fitting even though my rig is a 74. The stainless steel line is 24" long since I am SOA.

I've looked at Downey's, JTO, CCOT, etc and they all seem to only have the newed style lines that have 10mm fitting on each end. Can Downey's or someone else make one of these up for me?

just go to a place that makes hydrolic lines they can make em for you. if not you can get some at the parts house made by russell and buy adaptors for them russell makes em also. better go have them made cheaper

Rebuild

If the old fittings are not thrashed, you can reuse them & only have to make a new line. How you are going to flare stainless, that is a different story. You may have to use standard line.

I have an old set of bake lines given to me. If interested for cost I would send you what you need if I have it. It came out of a 72. I am in Napa Valley.
