    Would like pictures or some kind of explination of the brake line routing on a 71 jeep cj5, primarily from the prop block out. Bought aftermarket kit, and am not sure where some of the lines go. originals were rusted away, so nothing to reference to.
    Thanks in advance

    I wont be able to get pix to you for at least a week but am curious what kit you purchased. I have tried using inline-tube but their kits dont match up with the 66 V6 setup. My guess is that the F4 distribution block is locater further back than with the V6. so the rear line is short and the front lines are long. I ended up bending my own lines.
    Let me know next week if you still need info.

    I used the Classic Tube prt # JE1033SS kit from Quadratec.I have used threre kits before on other vehicles, with outstanding results. For the most part, i have been able to match up the lines, but am having problems with the lines from the prop block to the drivers flex line, and the line to the rear. I'm not sure if the line to the rear goes between the frame and master cylinder bracket, or through the bracket, and for the lines to the drivers flex, who knows.
    Pics would be great, don't mind waiting, this jeep keeps me plenty busy with everything else.

    did you ever find a routing diagram? I did the same thing, and the kit they sent doesn't really fit. When I call they are clueless!
