I'm working on running all new brake lines on my truck. I've already dropped the gas tank and started working my way from the back forward.

I can't seem to find the fitting that goes to the junction. None of the auto stores nor the dealer has it.

The line is 3/16 inch and uses standard 3/8" SAE fittings where the hard line connects to the flex hose. I bought the driver's side hard line segment but the passenger side is discontinued. The fitting is the gray one shown below:





The thread size appears to be M11x1.5 but it is an inverted flare not a bubble flare. The M11x1.5 fittings at the auto stores have an unthreaded lead for use with a bubble flare before the threads start that doesn't allow the fitting to seat fully.

​​It's really not hard to run a brake line, but I can't seem to find this fitting. I'm tempted to order another left side, cut the fittings off, and create a longer right side segment, but that's about $30 per fitting.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

I just get a piece of straight line, with the correct fittings/flares (your parts store sells them.) and bend it to where I need it.

 

When I replaced all the lines on my 2000 ram, I used a rear brake hose from a 2004 because I had it and it was a tad longer. The newer one was metric. I had SS brake lines out of Ohio send me a set of pre-bent regular steel lines, and had them swap the sae ends for metric on the side that connected to the hose fitting on the axle. Wasn't a bad price at all, probably cheaper than dealer pricing. 25% off right now, on pre-bent line kits until sunday.

Good luck!
