The hose uses a female thread SAE fitting at one end and a male thread fitting at the other, with an overall length of 15.400. This makes it a practical choice when replacing a worn or leaking hose on a 1972-1973 Jeep CJ5 front brake circuit, a 1958 Mercury Colony Park rear center line, or a 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird rear center line.
