Default Remote Reservoir Brake Hoses

I have to replace my brake hoses attaching from the master brake cylinder and the remote reservoir. Anybody know what size ID these brake hoses are? Mine are weeping.

Many thanks, Bill

G'day Bill,

I had a similar problem on my first XJ6 many years ago and I replaced my remote reservoir with one of these P/N # CAC3217 and it was fine for years before I sold the car.

It just pushed straight into place.

Cheers,
Jeff.

Jeff - Good suggestion and I tried David at EverydayXJ and he does not have a used one. And I'm not about to spend over $100 for a new one CAC3217 when I can get brake hose for about $10. I'm just looking for someone who might be able to tell me what the ID is if they know.

It is 1/4 inch ID.
I used Gates Plant Master 200 hose, compatible with brake fluid.
