here is my situation:
I am trying to get all the parts together I might need to minimize trips to the parts store after I start the swap.
I have a question about the brakes. The tee fitting on the Dana 35 is on the drivers side and the tee fitting on the 44 is on the passenger side. Now, I know I have to have some sort of adapter to mate the standard line to the metric line... but, would it be easier to make a hard line with a standard fitting on one end and a metric on the other and run it under the tub to the passenger side to fit up to the metric rubber line? Or do you think the brake lines on the 44 could be taken off and flipped so that the tee was on the Drivers side, then buy a standard to metric adapter? Also, what size adapter and fittings should I be looking for? From what I have read, most metric fittings are 10mm and have a bubble flare, right?
So the 3/16 line on the YJ just has a 3/16 fitting? or is it called something else? And I think the stock hard line has an "inverted flare". I could get a flaring tool and just make a line myself I think... I just don't have any experience buying brake line fittings so I really don't know what to ask for.
Here are some pics of what I am dealing with...
