    What is the difference between a set of metal brake lines in a M38A1 and a early model CJ5. I am getting ready to order a complete metal brake line kit. I have a M38A1 with the s-lines going to the front wheel cylinders. Can't find any info on this in the TMs or FSM. Thanks.

    AFAIK they're the same up to about '57 or so when the CJ moved from a front distribution line on the axle to the front crossmember with flex hoses from the frame down to the knuckles.

    I just made up an s-tube for my '56, but it is not easy, being so tightly dimensioned.

    The kit I am getting has the s-lines in it.
