Brake Lines

[davey25]

I noticed when ordering brake lines for the front they change in 82..is the only difference here that they would probably be longer for the WT diffs? Im assuming that with a pre 81 jeep with widetrack diffs the newer 82+ brake lines would be the ones to go with and would not need adapters or anything to the frame???
Thanks

There are no guarantees....

I've upgraded my 76 with disc brakes from an 84 CJ. The replacement lines for an 84 CJ work fine on my narrow track axles. They are only spanning the frame rail space.





The rear, brake backing plate to backing plate, are for a 76. They work fine. The problem was from the proportioning valve to the front and rear.

Ok so then I should have no problems putting 82 and up on my 76..was worried about diff fittings and banjo bolt threads

The fittings on the prop valve will most likely not be the same as on the 82-up. And the prop valve on the later CJ's was mounted differently, so you'll possibly have issues there.

I used lines from Inline Tube. They are stainless, which is a bit more difficult to work with than plain steel. They are also a bit more difficult to seal, as they aren't as malleable. Of all the tubes supplies, I only had one (the rear axle) that didn't need some modification.

Specifically I was just worried about the flex lines
