Hey thanks Rob
Can I pick your brain a little more...? You wouldn't happen to have the part no.s for the flex lines would you...I copied the one's for the wheel cylinders as well as the master from the previous post. Also my 53's fuel tank is a little beat inside and there is a 52 that is coated that i can possibly by to install. Not sure what the coating prosees costs but i am sure it isn't cheap. So My question is...I have a 67 with a near new looking (insideanyway) tank and thought that will plop right in But is it correct as the tank is not rounded more square and the seams are not folded welded square...? I am not really a purist but I also don't need the flack...hahaha from the others If you have an idea what does a decent tank go for now days...? Thanks Rob enjoy the day Casey

The 67 tank...
...is a perfect fit. This is one of the batch the Army had made when they couldn't
source originals. I've used them on 53's. I'm having a tank repaired now and I'm up to $300. The liner is $100 alone. Gas tanks are a pain in the butt. The MD Juan tank is $400 but they had many problems with them. After many complaints the second lot is better but not perfect. Sorry if I butted in Rob. I couldn't resist. Peter Simundson

Not at all Peter, certainly I am not the only guy who knows a little about Jeeps on this forum.
As Peter mentions, the welded tanks were replacements for the Cdn army. The only real shortcoming I found with them was that the gas caps would not fit without some modification. Most rad shops will clean out the insides of your tank, then line it with a compound (POR15 if I recall) for around $100. The old compounds did not like alcohol, but with today's fuel, they must have worked around that. Go to Rockauto.com, click on the big red button, go to the jeep selection, go to 1955, then CJ5 and finally brake hoses. All the wagner numbers are there, along with others. There are also the S lines by onix-ada.

Yes you are correct Rob it was on another site comparing prices... Rock auto there is a 1953 tab for CJ3...or stick the 1955 CJ5?
I'd like to get all the stuff at once LOL i hope...some of my lines are in really good shape little rust outside but still srtong...Clean them out or wash out the tubes with alcohol rubbing or methyle hydrate...? next the wheel cylinders and shoes...These sure look like the english stuff i worked on adjust the same way as well... Oh and my frineds said they don't mind delivering your junk to your house LOL they do not have green disease!

Go with the 55 CJ5. If you are ordering brakeshoes you had best look at yours first. It was possible to have the shoes with the round mounting holes on the bottom, or else the later style (correct for the A1s) where the bottoms were on more of a fixed anchor. Compare what you have with the pictures on rock auto's listings.
Good news about the treasure delivery. That will be one more piece of the puzzle.
