What do people use for the front rubber brake lines? - 02/13/10 11:00 PM

I got a set from Inline Tube and they look well....Chinese. Maybe it's the "Hang Seng" written on it that get's me, LOL. Is this the only option or do people reuse decent originals? I'm assuming NOS is hard to come by these days.

Thanks in advance,

EW

Eric-There is a pair of NOS date coded correct hoses on eBay right now for 185.00 I think.That's about the going rate.Good luck

Check your local parts store, there are still quality replacement rubber hoses avaliable from Bendix, Dorman, etc,...or you could upgrade to braided Stainless Steel lines from various aftermarket manufacturers like Finelines, Right stuff, etc,....InLine tube leaves a lot to be desired in their "repro-placements"

Bob at Finelines (330-335-5000) makes his own in house.

I just bought a set(all three) for a 1970 Coronet on ebay from "BRAKE HOSES" a guy in Argentina. $19.00 for the set and shipping was about $10.00. Not bad for a driver, good price.

I don't think those are DOT approved. You are on your own with those ones! These are your BRAKES we're talking about.

...the rubber ones i was going to order from Argentina were DOT approved but may have been from a different supplier.
i ended up getting braided stainless and wish i had gotten oem.
i like the original look better.

quite a few local parts stores can make there own if you can't new. take your old ones in they can match them up and sometimes at a good price
