rear brake hose information?

[PRattenbury]

Hello all, I decided to begin installing brake lines on my 66 CJ5. The rear seemed like a fine place to start. Since the rear diff housing that came with my Jeep was just about rotted through I decided I’d better replace it, which I did. When I did that I failed to keep the old tee fitting for the rear brake hose, so I just ordered a replacement fitting from Kaiser Willys. If I am correct the tubes that go out to each wheel cylinder have 3/8-24 threads going into said tee fitting. What I am unsure of is the threads in the port that the rear hose screws into. Does anyone know what threads that port has? Plan B is, wait till the fitting gets to me and order the hose accordingly. I would just order the hose that came stock, but I decided to use a BDS suspension which is a bit higher than stock. So I want to order a hose that is longer. Stoch length is about 16 inches. I figure about 20 inches would do for me. But. if anyone knows what thread I am dealing with at that tee, could you share that info with me? Thanks!

I used a stock replacement brake hose with my BDS 2.5" lift. It's been fine for 20 years.

3/8"-24 is the thread size for 3/16" brake tubing.
The fitting will be sized to the tubing diameter.
Sometimes you encounter an oddball, but usually it's in proportion to the tubing size.
Why not use the old tubing as a sample?
If the Kaiser-Willys part is a stock replacement, it should match what was there.

Thanks all! I’m getting it worked out. I’lltry and post some pictures of what I ultimately end up with.
