These guys have them. I haven't ordered from them so no input there... http://www.inlinetube.com/ Look for "Stainless Steel Power Braid Flex D.O.T. Hoses" LockDoc

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
Any Brakequip dealer can make you one. I am sure there is one in Atlanta

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
Cool, thanks. i found a Royal Brass thats a brake quip dealer near by.
Does anyone know what the fittings are called and what sizes? They look like special fittings since they have the c-clip on the backs of them. also both fittings look different. Napa shows this for a '69 C-10 1/2 ton: Length:22.313" Type of Ends:7/16" - 24 & 7/16" - 20 |

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
I looked at inline tube. but i also found a hydraulic hose store that sells makes hoses. They have a black anodized SS braided hose material. I also get discounts through the company i work for. it will be cheaper, look better, and they will make them while i wait.
So now i am try to find out exactly what these specific fittings are called and the sizes, so i can order them. If anyone knows where to find the specs on these hoses and fittings, let me know. |

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
I went to through this exercise with BrakeQuip and came up with these partnumbers to have the front and rear brake hoses made.
A few VERY important notes. First, double check the part numbers before you order the hoses. Do not trust my part number in the event that I might have pasted the incorrect parts. Second, provide your own hose length that you need. My truck is lowered which might mean that the length is different than what you need. Third, on my truck on of the male fittings on the hardline that the front hose connects to were different sizes. Since I made my own brakelines I changed them to the same fitting. My parts list reflects this change. So do not assume my parts are exactly what you need. The total cost of the lines including shipping was about $80. You can phone Jerry(877-431-0075) at BrakeQuip to check on the parts needed and if they are in stock. They do have a company in the next building that can build the lines for you. The name is Royal Brass and Hose(800-669-9650). You can ask for Matt or Nathan there. If you need a starting point on your hoses you can mention my name(I am not very imaginative so it is my screen name) and they can probably pull up my order which will list all the parts they used for me. BrakeQuip hose requirements: Front – 2 hoses fitting 1 – 7/16” banjo HFB448 fitting 2 – 3/8” 24tpi female HFIF01SS length – 13.5” Rear – 1 hose tee 3/8” 24tpi female BQ56ASS fitting 1 – 3/8” 24tpi male HFIM01SS fitting 2 – 7/16” 24tpi female HFIF02SS length – 18” |

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
Alex, thanks for the info. What year is your truck?
When I loook at the rubber rear brake hose that napa carries for a '69 1/2 ton C-10, it says it has a 7/16 -20 and 7/16-24 fitting. The fitting, that connects the hard brake line to the rubber line, on the front and rear of my truck is the same. So i am expecting to need a 7/16 female fitting on both the fronts and rears. A banjo fitting on the fronts and then the male fitting that goes into the T in the rear. i have already selected some brakequip fittings that look similar to what i have, but i need to go put some caliper on them to know exactly what size they are without removing them. i hope to go to Royal fitting this week. |

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
I have a 72 C10. I did not specify what diameter of hose to use. I simply assumed that since they make brake hoses and I told them what vehicle I was putting them on, they would know better than I would what size to use. If it helps, the OD of the hose is 1/4". Or did you mean the hard line?

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
What calipers do you have up front? I have the ECE calipers. I am wondering what the banjo size is.

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
I have the stock calipers which would be 7/16". If you have newer calipers, they would be 8mm I believe.

Re: Rear Brake Hose Question
Does anyone know for sure what size banjo bolt the ECE calipers use?
