Brake line ID. And also local source

[HeavyMetal]

Found one of my rear brake caliper lines rubbed through on a bolt to a pinhole.

I need to replace this by Wednesday of next week, sooner the better

I have the Teraflex rear disc conversion...the caliper lines look like below.

I find it hard to believe this is a special "Teraflex" part. What are these things out of, anyone know? I have heard conflicting reports that the tera kit uses Explorer parts. Lookin to source locally for speediness. Plus 70 bucks for 2 brakelines, brackets, bolts, and so on when I only have a pinhole in one of mine is kind of unreasonable. I dont know much about interchangeability for rear disk brake lines like I do fronts. Would ZJs work? Explorer 8.8? Similar?

hey will, teraflex use's 95-01 ford explorer 8.8 calipers/rotors/pads etc. so if you got a hose for one of them, i dont see why it shouldnt work. drive to parts store, bring tools to replace in parking lot so you can match it up

[HeavyMetal]

good to know theyre 8.8 calipers, i'd say that narrows the search quite a bit, thanks dude!

Ask erich what his rear lines look.like, those look similar if I remember correctly

[CumminsJeep]

That looks like the hose I have from the frame down to the axle, which is RE. I have hard lines coming from the distribution block that go into these on each side...

I would bring your banjo bolt with you I've had to trill the banjo out before.
Speedway motors has kits too but I don't know how fast you will get them.
Most are Inverted Flare 3/16 line 3/8 24 thread.
If it has a cone bottom it is IF if flat it is a bubble flare

Can someone explain to me why that fucking kit Will linked is $75?

GREED

Interesting, I mailed teraflex right before I made this thread asking them what they thought I could use as a local source for a line

They got back to me and said "Try using a 87-91 Jeep YJ wrangler front hose."

Interesting.

DOESNT EVEN LOOK CLOSE. has a long metal lead tot he caliper.

[customcreationsllc]

XJ front hoses are shorter than YJ hoses
Why wouldn't Explorer rear hoses work?

Basically anything will work if it is the right flare banjo ID and length just find a nice part store.

good to know

i was curious why YJ front lines were suggested vs an obvious rear application
