Brake hose length for drum to disk
Hey, New here but a big fan, been working on my 69 c20 and got almost done with a disk brake conversion using 82 c30 spindle set up... but stuck on the brake lines, ive read read and read and cant find very much info on the rubber brake line hose length and set up....
Im thinking of making them my self but depending on how much $$ or i might just have someone in town make them but need info to tell him. Anything would help! thank! -Prwa101 |

Re: Brake hose length for drum to disk
steel lines or rubber brake hoses or both?
Rubber hoses need to be purchsed with the ends on them. I don't think they can be made to length.

Re: Brake hose length for drum to disk
You might try a brake hose from a 71-72 C20 truck, since they came with disc brakes.
Or check with www.earlyclassic.com. They sell conversion hoses.

Re: Brake hose length for drum to disk
brake hoses have banjo fittings on one end and inverted flare of the other
\ i'd go to napa ant ask for a 82 c30 brake hose mount it to the caliper and hold the other end in place to see everything clears then weld a mounting tab on the crossmemberto mount the hose

Re: Brake hose length for drum to disk
Okay, ive done a little bit of research on the 71-72 69 and 82 brake hoses. I figure id share becuase i couldnt find it my self without searching for house...
Correct me if im wrong. 69 c20 (feels lit it would be ling enough with a banjo end) End 1 Attachment Type: Female - Brass End 1 Size: 3/8-24 UNF-2B End 2 Attachment Type: Male - Brass End 2 Size: 7/16-20 UNF-2A Gaskets Included: No Hose Color: Black Hose Length: 13.781 in Outer Material: EPDM Rubber 71-72 hoses Brake Hose Assembly Length (In): 12.25 Brake Hose Assembly Use Location: Driver Front Brake Line/Assembly Bracket Material: No Bracket Required End 1 Fitting Material: Treated Steel End 1 Type/Size of Fitting: Banjo - 0.44 End 2 Fitting Material: Treated Steel End 2 Type/Size of Fitting: Female - 3/8-24 82 (way to long) tryed already with yard hoses End 1 Attachment Type: Banjo - Steel End 2 Attachment Type: Both Male, Female-Steel End 2 Size: 5/8-18 & 3/8-24 Gaskets Included: No Hose Color: Black Hose Length: 21.94 in Outer Material: EPDM Rubber Thus in Theory, a 71-72 brake hose would fit my conversion? Oh and here this guys says the C10 72 is 13.5, could be counting the fittings. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=354022 What do you guys think? Prwa |

Re: Brake hose length for drum to disk
Well i started to look at napa to see what they had and they dont even show front brake hoses for a 72 c20.. BUT! So how i must have clicked a El Camino and one came up for it! and its even shorter than the 72 c20 supposedly. So this should work!
Part Number: UP 36616 Product Line: Brake and Clutch Hoses and Cables Attributes: Gasket Included : Yes Hose End Type 1 : Banjo - 0.4375 Hose End Type 2 : Female - 3/8-24 Overall Length : 11.875" Caution Statement : Do Not Use W/ Petroleum-based Fluids - Designed Only For Use W/ Dot Approved Silicone Or Glycol-based Brake Fluids -Prwa |

Re: Brake hose length for drum to disk
I got them at napa and they were 18$ for the pair with the 10% off thing. PART NUMBER ABOVE. Much cheaper than 50$ and readily available!
The diffrence between these and the actual 72 chevy pickup is these are almost a quarter of an inch smaller and fit perfect. The picture of the hose is on the drivers side. PRWA Posted via Mobile Device |
