Default Brake line connection?

Hello, I have a 2000 Durango and am replacing the R & L front brake "lines" and the hose connection is 10.1mm but different at the junction block, does anyone know what the connection is? Thanks, Steve

Welcome to DF Steve! I'm moving this to the 1st gen Durango section for you, you'll get more help here. I also took the liberty of renaming the thread title to be more descriptive, helps catch the attention of someone who would know this info.

welcome steve, is it the hard metal brake line you are replacing, or the hoses that run from the hard line out to the caliper? the hoses can be had at any auto parts store, they can look up the part numbers for you in there computer (or book depending on where you go)

the metal lines you gotta hit the dealership.. strange pricing.. the ones i remember are; rear axle L $15 real axle R $16 from front to rear its like 400-500 or some ridiculous pricey number

Thank you all for replying and I'm all set.
I replaced all the front steel lines back to the ABS. The issue I was having was that while Dodge uses 3/16" {10.1mm} lines, the connection fittings are different on each end of the line so making a repair from a local parts house was kinda painful. To make a long story short; I ended up transitioning from 10.1 at the hoses to standard 3/16" line via female X male couplings and the same on the other end. Brakes are bled and the job is done.
Hope you all have a great day and if you're a dad; Happy Fathers day.
Steve
