Re: brake conversion

I used 5/8" X 18 jamb nuts for my brake hoses. See link for pics and info how I did it. Hope it helps.

Re: brake conversion

Yes I got the jamb nuts at a local hardware store. Orchard supply also carries them and yes they hold good and tight. I cinched the hell out of mine to make sure they would hold. The factory used those cheap stamped lock nuts and I didn't like the thought of reusing those.
