That looks just like the ss braided hose that is used for water connections... I wonder?

It might be worth a trip to Home Depot.

That would be some hella-high-pressure water line. Home depot sell that good of stuff?

On second thought, the braid on the SS brake hose is a much finer weave than any on the water hoses...

The only advantage to the SS braid is it is unlikely to be cut by off road debris. The pressure in a hydraulic brake system is trivial by hydraulic standards. The usual hose is a dacron braid reinforced rubber hose.

I've seen those hoses somewhere... JC Whitney, or perhaps at a vehicle show flea
market?

just match your fittings and length to a company like this.

Looked at the lines on that site , do resemble the type on my truck. Any other SS members have this style on there MV , and if so what truck ( M35, M818 etc) do you have . the gov had to have a NSN number for this. Keep the info comming ,it sure looks like a better upgrade. The rubber ones are dry rotted and need to go.

what are you asking for - you need more? or do you just want an NSN for them? i don't understand; if you want more, just match then ends and lengths from the site.

iT'S not rocket science ,I could just custom order lines, or find what is already made and in use.
why redesign the wheel. Don't think the motor pool custom ordered them. Like all the other parts there has to be a number to order one.

Probably so, but I would have to hear of more than one truck with the lines before I would come to that conclusion. Has anybody else seen these lines on a deuce?

The military has a habit of labeling parts like that. Usually there will be a paper part number label covered over with a piece of clear teflon shrink tubing.

It is possible that the motor pool was out of the proper lines, or they were evaluating the SS lines and just ordered up a few for trial. They certainly are cheap enough.

Thanks Chuck

Yes this is why I posted here. With hundreds of deuces and SS members. If there is another deuce out there, or is this one as you said, just a test truck. If it's a one-of-a-kind I'll pull it off and order replacements from the site listed. Posting the pic's with the line's intact from the gov ,is also info. for all to see.

They look like just what I need for my deuce. My right line got itself tucked beneath the turning stop bolt, and got a nice chewing. I think it might be wise to replace it at this point

Does anybody know what the connector ends are supposed to be? I'd rather not tear mine down and then have to wait some weeks for this guy to build up a set.
