Looking at those pic's I see some badly rusted clamps get those replace while you have easy access to them get some stainless steel ones. Those hoses look to be a bit dried out look at them get to them now with the easy access also.

:icon_pics:

Yah.. Trying to spray paint them..
And about the hose thinking where can I get
Cheap and quality

I would call and ask about what you need.

One more thing
 

Look at your rear brake flex line it’s a good idea to replace those and at $12 it’s worth it.

If it looks still soft and flexible you could just leave it be.

It’s open and easy to get to now so if you have the extra $12 now’s the time to get it done.

do you know about dealer pricing???
must finish the rear part now...
or i try check my 98 if how is it

Yes I DO!!!!
 

Yes but some parts are only available from them.

And this is one of the Discount Mopar places you don’t save much but you do save.

Besides when it comes to your gas tank for safety I would stick to Mopar

Listen anyone with half a brain knows that dealer parts are sky high give me some credit please.
