Disc Brake Hoses sizes
I got a pair of front disk brake hoses from Txfirefighter, they bolted up to the 72 C20 calipers just fine, but when I went to connect the brake lines I discovered they were different fitting sizes. One looks to be 3/16ths and the other is 1/4? The larger one has a longer/deeper thread bore as well.
Will this create a pressure variable? Or can I just use a downsize adapter? (altho I am not to thrilled about doing that). What you all think? |
Re: Disc Brake Hoses sizes
Can you tell if the ID of the hose with the 1/4" flare fitting is the same as the one with the 3/16" fitting? Ordinarily you want your braking to be balanced from side to side. If the ID of the hoses is the same, you should be OK. If not......don't know if it will make a difference or not.

The hose says 1/8 on both of them, that sound right? I will get an adapter and make it work for now. If it shows to be a problem, its not too tuff to change out the hose. Thanks for your input.

Yeah that sounds about right. Hopefully the fitting size is the only difference.
