I take it yours is leaking at the fittings? Of the three XJs I know of, all of us have just used rubber tubing and a couple hose clamps per end. Some guys will flare (or double flare) the end of the existing tube but I've had no problem with mine for about 30k miles on a '98 XJ. HTH dn.

Sounds to me like it is time bend up some new ones then. I used steel brake line to make the ones in his 86 cherokee.

if you know what your doing you can make new one's i wouldnt suggest it if you're a novice though. I think I paid 80$ for some new ones about 1.5 years ago though. and 30 minutes later i was done. I do get an employee discount though.

Um....using standard copper plumbing pipe is a perscription for FAILURE!!!!! Copper pipe is NOT designed to withstand the heavy vibes (relative to household plbg) of an automotive application- steel brake lines, aftermarket tubing or OEM piping designed for THAT application is the only way to go here.....copper should NEVER be used with any pressurized automotive applications.....

True but with a little work you can make it last decent. We use it on bikes. Basically add a vibration dampner into the line. You can do this by either adding a coil enroute or by adding a 2 inch rubber section. The rubber works the best but some dudes opt for the coiled section cause it looks cool.
