Its time to have my brake lines built but need to confirm a couple of things for a 97 TJ with ford front 86 dana 60:

1) Hardline fittings are 3/8-24 off the the jeep???
2) Banjo bolt size is ??

check out speedwaymotors.com, really awesome deal on new stainless stell braided lines, and you can just pick whatever size fitting you want, unless you want to have your wallet raped buying other custom lines.

Keep the s.s.braided line length to a min. it does expand and when to long of run is done brakes will seem mushie.

Go to the parts store and ask em for a brake line to fit the axle donor vehicle, measure the opening in the banjo fitting, tell em thanks and then order the lines you want that fit the heep lines. Take em home and drill out the banjo fitting to what you measured earlier. Blow out any metal shavings, bolt em on, bleed, and go.

Yup. Assuming they are long enough. Most vehicles will have a 3/8" banjo bolt. Early GM will not.
