Hey,
I'm trying to find brake line fittings for my ranger(83), I can't seem to find the right size anywhere.
The line to my rear drivers side line fell apart when I tried taking it off the cylinder and the fitting is in pretty bad shape.
Any ideas??
 
Go to Autozone or Napa, buy a single 25-foot roll of 3/16" brake tubing, and a few pkgs of assorted fittings of size 3/8" and 7/16". Autozone will loan you the flaring tool that you need, for free. That main line along the rail is 16' long to the rear diff.
 
^^ whathesaid...

I replace my entire brake line system from stock parts at Canadian Tire...they even have the front T connector and the flex lines if you want to do those too...total cost was about $100 including buying my own flare tool kit...just take your time with the flaring and maybe practice a bit if you haven't done it before...the trick is to make the flare as large as the connector you put it into...with a nice round lip...if your lips are coming out sharp you can file them a bit...

I ended up having to redo mine a few times and then tighten the joints up when I found leaks...but it really is an easy thing to do...
 
Yeah I went that route again, I already flared some of my other lines.
I was lucky to find the fittings at napa, they only had 2 left lol. They don't seem to keep there brake line fittings stocked up very well.
