Re: 71-72 C20 Front Bake Hoses (Again)
I found a hydraulic shop that is somewhat local to me that makes brake lines. They gave me an assortment of fittings to take home and try on the truck. None of them ended up fitting right so I resorted to cutting a groove in them with a Dremel to make it work. The shop carries brake quip fittings, the banjo fitting part numbers are hfb158 and 159. However, the shop was unable to source the banjo fittings that connect to the caliper because they have apparently been discontinued. So I resorted to giving my repro lines from GMCPauls to them and they are going to cut the banjo fittings off and solder them to new "lifesaver" fittings.
This was way more work than I thought I would be, but I should have a truck that stops on a dime when its all over. I'll post pictures of the finished products once I get the lines back from the shop and install them.
