I plan making my own brake lines for my jeep and was wondering what the lengths were for the lines coming off the master cylinder

page 248-249 on the ORD 9 .
pg. 240 has the diagram denoting the brake tube locations.

Do a search of the Technical Knowledge Base for rigid brake lines.....Mr. Knettle posted an excellent drawing of all the rigid brake lines in an M38A-1 but I don't know how to post his diagram here. If you can find it through a search i think all your questions will be answered....and then some. I think the post was from around Aug. 2009. Good luck. Just between you and me......there are some very good rigid brake line sets available from various sources that would highly simplify this matter for you....unless of course you are like way better'n me with a tubing bender.

There was no magic in making that illustration. I just OPENED THE M38A1 ORD 9 AND READ THE SIZES RIGHT THERE IN THE BOOK!

This is why we loaded all the manuals here on our web site for free download so everyone could have their own copies of each manual for free and hopefully use them and learn hundreds of interesting thing about their own jeep.
