Most auto parts houses have the supplies to make up the brake lines. Take one of the fittings with you to get the right size. There are also places that make up hydraulic hoses that will make up brake lines also, since it is a hydraulic system.

If the fittings are the same as the RRC fittings, I have a whole box of fittings that I'll likely never use on my D2.

I'll take a look this weekend and let you know what I have left, if you can wait a few days.

Thanks Guys,

Thanks Racer - let me know what you have... I suspect a 94 RRC would be the same as a 95 Disco...

Update - found a local mechanic with the correct fittings lying around... apparently the brake fittings were Ford/Jag which makes sense given LR's ownership at that time!

3/16" M10 Bubble fittings. Its usually easiest to just grab some hardline lengths from PepBoys, Napa, etc and some couplings to run a new line.
