WTB "conversion" front brake hoses
 
Anybody have a new set of "conversion" front brake hoses for my 68 that they are not going to use? If you do please let me know what you have and how much shipped to 95240, thank you.

I guess I should of specified that I am doing a disc brake conversion and need the hoses to run to calipers.

The reason I don't want the later 71-72 or 73-87 style brake hoses is I don't want any extra couplers to get them to work. With the "conversion" style hose like the ones pictured above they will screw right into my existing brake lines. Just a little cleaner looking I guess. Thanks for the link HotRod.

Those are 73-87 style hoses that connect to the steel line thru a hole in the frame.

Re: WTB "conversion" front brake hoses
 
I think Jeff at CPP gave me a decent deal on them, and I figure they will fit in a $5 flat rate box so how about $30?

shawno72 11-23-2012 09:38 PM

Re: WTB "conversion" front brake hoses
 
$30 shipped is perfec. Thank yu so much. Pm me payment info.

You nailed it on the head Keith. Plus I virtually swapped these out for my new 71-72 set :D

I agree, very nice jesture and deal.

BTW, I'm not positive, but I believe the hoses used for the conversions are actually 79 Camaro hoses and can be purchased at your local parts house in a pinch. I remember having a conversation with the guys at McCaughy's years ago and that fact was brought up when I asked about future replacement needs.

Also, an adaptor may be needed on hte drivers side steel to rubber connection due to a different diameter steel tubing.

Hey Buck, would you happen to know the part number on those hoses from cpp? I am converting to disc up front and will soon need a set as well.

Thanks!

I think it is BHK-R7, the picture on the site shows stainless hoses, but this kit is rubber.
