I posted this here as it's Ford related. I need to replace a short hard line from a master cylinder to the LF brake line junction and the part is NLA. I have options with the steel line but it's rusted and not much good meat to flare.
The OE line has a short stainless braided section likely for flexibility and stress relief, so I'm hoping I could use a DOT approved line here without coiling a new steel section.
These Russell lines are D.O.T approved but I'm at a loss to get the correct fitting. The fitting at the master cylinder looks like a bubble flare, and the brake line junction block uses a standard inverted flare. The junction block has 3 lines, one for the rubber hose to the caliper, one to the RF brake, and one to the master cylinder, this does not have front ABS
Thread OD is .38 on the master
Thread OD on the junction block looks like a standard 5/16 IF
I would like to use a single hose, 90 deg on one end and straight on the other, part # is 655052
I'm assuming this is the correct fitting for the brake line junction block.
Not sure what fitting, if anyone is well-versed in these fittings any input would be appreciated. I basically need one braided line, and two male fittings for the line.
