He's offering 3 lines for $90, with free shipping, which is a great price for these lines. I wish he had started selling these 3 months ago when I started my swap, I had to use lines with adapters, I would much rather have had 1 piece lines. These lines are pretty hard to find, at least on the east coast.

The fitting on the front of our trucks is 10mm female. Dana44's mostly use 3/8 or 7/16 banjo bolts. Toy axles use 10mm male.

Our rear axles use 10mm female to 10mm male.

You are probably going to want to order about 24in lines for spring under and 28in lines for spring over. Stock line + amount of lift is a good rule of thumb, but not the best for SAS because of the increased droop over stock.

Visit your local speed shop. You can get braided lines with 10mm adapters and banjos cheaper than that.

Beleive me, I tried, I've already got lines, I just thought these guys might be a good source for this stuff. We don't have any quality local speed shops. You guys out west done even understand how bad it is out here. I got my lines from foothills offroad and the adapters from summit, and these are 1 piece(no adapters) which I think is better since there are less chances for leaks.

I even tried a place that specalizes in hydraulic lines, they didnt even carry anything in AN3 stainless.

Yeah, the metric converters were special order pieces when I got mine, but still, I was out the door for cheap.

FYI, 90+ 300zx (z32) front brake lines are really long and use 10mm male on both ends.

So what exactly do I need to get for brake lines?

If you use standard braided lines from a speed shop, you need the metric adapter with 2 female ends - one for a 10mmx1 fitting (this adapts to your Nissan hard lines), and the other to standard brake line pipe thread. On the other end at the D44 calipers, you need a set of standard banjo bolts.

There isn't a speed shop within like a 250 mile radius from me

Have you tried like Summit racing or anything like that?

summit racing sells ones for the jeep waggy as a pair. only for the front.

I'm probably go with ones from that pirate guy.

so I need the brake line with a female end for the front and the for the rear I need a female end as well???

What axles and brake calipers are you using?

Using 74 waggy caliper and axle

keeping the Nissan rear.

For the front you are going to want to order, 10mm Female (frame end) to 7/16 or 3/8 banjo(caliper end), I cant remember which year the wagoneer calipers changed, I think its 7/16. Look on pirate for that one or take a 7/16 fine thread and a 3/8 fine thread bolts and which ever fits, its that one.

The rear is gonna be 10mm Female to 10mm male.

This shop is local to me and I get all my lines/adapters from them. They have everything and also ship but not as quickly as summit.

For my 83’ Waggy D44 front I had them make some SS braided lines in the length I needed for ~ $15 each. My axle uses 3/8” Banjo on the caliper.

For the H233B rear I’m using all hard lines to the brakes from a tee junction centered on the housing that drops down from a single flexible line that was spliced into the stock piping.

For my 85' grand waggy axle I'm in the process of re-building for my X I’m thinking I will end up what I something like I have on the pathy rear H233b and go with some shorty flex brake lines off the hard line tee routed down to the housing.

While you're redoing the brakes think about a proportional value on the rear line, I run a wildwood one to get more pressure up front.
