What I need is a: stainless braided flex line with standard brake flare ends - either male or female. Does such a thing exist ??

I made them up myself, had no problems, just need the right fittings and hoses. Should be able to make out a rear one in the pic below. I think these are Speedflows stuff but it seems Earls, Goodrich etc all make the fittings Last edited by Tig; 01/03/25 10:49 AM.

Of course that doesn't give the satisfaction of a DIY solution, but it's a valid one.

It's not hard to find them in the desired length with the fittings you want on-line. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(Stock drivetrain in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's & EFI. 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible Paxton Boosted 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 3.91's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

Not without using some sort of an adapter. -3 Teflon hose is AN and inverted flare is an SAE standard. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

This is the conclusion I had come to but thought I'd ask on here just in case. I think I'll end up bending a short length of nickel/copper to pass through the frame with female flare connectors to join the lengths. Many thanks to all for the input.

They do these to use as a pass through in a frame rail. Something like that could be made fairly easily with NPT on the ends to use whatever adapter you needed. Or get steel 3/8-24 IF fittings and weld them in.. If that is what you are looking for. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
