Flexible Brake Lines

Does anyone have the NAPA numbers for the flexible brake hoses. 1952 M38

They have the shorty front lines listed on their website (napaonline) as UP 8553. The three different lines they have listed as "rear" all show metric threads, so that can't be right, and they don't show anything for the long front frame-to-axle line.

You can save a lot of time and just order the set from John at Midwest Military.

The Carquest numbers are:

SP867 Two front axle to S tube hoses

SP3766 Front axle to frame

SP786 Rear axle to frame.

Take the old hoses to your local parker hannifen dealer or like....they will make new ones up to meet DOT specification & charge about 1/4 the price.
Do not accept NOS or old/new hoses....the new hose should be date marked.

Are the flex brake lines the same for several different Jeep models?

The ORD-9 for the M-38 (page 259) says:

2 flexis 6" long
1 flexi 11" long
1 flexi 15" long

Page 178 of the ORD-9 for the MB/GPW lists the same sizes, but different part numbers. The M38A1 ORD-9 shows G740 part numbers (M38).

I had a set of flexis for the MB, and they fit my M38 fine. Anybody know why the part numbers are different? Maybe better quality rubber, or something?

Most likely a change in the spec for material. The lines interchange easily through most of the universal style jeep line until you get into the 10" and up brake models where the S tube changes. Also there will be a slight difference in fit based on which hose guard is mounted to the top of the knuckle.
