Longer Front Brake Soft Hose??

#1 Post by Jim Hardie »

Hi, Folks,

I've a '54 in the garage that has a set of 'C' disc brakes. Soft lines were 15 year old Earl steel braided. Might be time to change out, one would think!

Standard A/B/C front lines are too short, probably because they attach to the body below the later mounting location. Regardless, it will seem to require a hose that is 2.54-4.omm longer. Anyone have an idea to solve this...?/

Thanks, Jim

If you are looking thru ATE brake hoses, you will see the ATE part number stamped in the end fitting. For instance, the 356 front hose -- 644-42-211 -- will have the number below. If you want to peruse all the ATE hoses, go to http://www.ate-brakes.com/products/ate-classic/#
