ZJ Brake Pipe Fittings Sizes or Brake Pipe Supplier
« on: January 18, 2013, 09:23:21 PM »

Hi, I need to replace the four steel brake pipes from the main brake line out to the hoses connected to the calipers as they are "excessively corroded". It's on a 1997 ZJ 4.0 Grand Cherokee

So far I haven't been able to find a supplier for made up lines. I have a flaring kit and I believe that the pipe size is 3/16". Can anyone advise me on what the fitting sizes are, I'm guessing that they're ANP rather than Metric?

Does anyone know who can supply the fittings or alternatively who can supply the lines made up? I'm guessing it will be quite a bit cheaper if I make them up myself and if so, that would be the preferred route.

Thanks for any advice.

I think the fittings are 3/8" UNF.

No but they don't look too great and I expect are likely to round off during removal and for the cost of replacement, I'd prefer not to re-use 16 year old brake parts, but I'll give it a go. Thanks for the number.
