Default 1992 XJS Rear Caliper Brake Lines

Does anyone know where to grab a hold of these brakes pipes that's on the rear calipers. New lines would be nice with brake bleeding nipples but if in good working order, used will do as well.





Thank you.

Thank you.
On my 87, someone knudered up those lines. I found the correct length at my parts for imports, and using the old ones as a template, bent the new ones to fit. Pretty easy.
Mine are unf, some nut job adapted the metric double flare, bad news.
I know nothing about outboard brakes. My fronts ARE metric.
A Jag breaker will probably let some used ones go fairly cheap, not a high demand item.
If you havent already, replace the single rubber rear line NOW. Its cheap, and you are already in there.
Others will chime in. ;-)

Your 1992 should still have the older inboard brakes so you need part numbers CAC5451 and CAC5452. These are the pipes that go from the junction block to the calipers. Is that what your after?

If so, Google the part numbers and see what happens. If you have outboard brakes (which i don't think would be the case until 1993-94) then those part numbers won't work, obviously.

Or, make some up on your own as mentioned above.

Or, many towns have speciality shops that make up hoses and pipes, like this....

Just Right Auto Repair: NW Tubes N Hoses

...so do some checking around !

Thank you Doug and 1800Doogie - much appreciated. I will check the part numbers out and if I cant find them, will make these pipes. It cant be that difficult to do
