Looking real good Sdc. What size hard brake lines did you buy? How much and where from? I'm like 1 or 2 steps behind you. I'm doing a total rebuild also. I could use some pointers on the brakes and a few other things.

I just replaced the hard brake lines on the locked axle I installed in my black XJ, was less than $20 for both at Autozone. They were 3/16 lines with standard thread ends. Have the bender if you ever need it

Damn, started off with me seeing his "intro" thread at the bottom part of the page. I clicked it, thought I would show some respect for his pirate jokes, and replied with a post saying, "Yarrr". Thought it was funny that other people came in and started "welcoming" him again without looking at the 3 year old post date.
So I copy and pasted his thread link here on this thread, asking you guys to "welcome" him also, and many thanks, you guys went and did it.
But, come to find out, Veeb0rg has a disdain for words of greeting and welcoming. As now his "Intro" thread has been closed.
To those who didn't have the chance to re"welcome" him to the site, there is always next time.
Cheers and Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The lines were 3/16x20 and 3/16x51. I used the factory lines as a template to copy the bend. All bendin was done by hand. I have a small bender but it was more difficult. Then cut to fit and flare. make sure to put the flare fitting on first. practice your flare first with the cut pieces. Use the factory flare as a reference tool to make sure yours is good.
The brakes were a pain at first. attatch the parking brake bracket to the cable first. Then install the pin and adjuster parts on the one pad, and install the pad with the stud and and spring keeper. next install the other pad with the stud and spring keeper. install the metal bracket/washer, adjuster wire ring and the springs on the large stud where the pads pivot, and the cable guide under the spring on the pad with the adjuster bracket. next install the metal bar with forks. The spring goes on the fork opposite of the pad with the adjuster bracket and the hump in the bar faces the wheel cylinder. then stick the adjuster pin in and the last spring. My terminology is probably off and this may make no sense untill you have parts in your hand!
