    Question Brake hoses

    I am so glad to have found this site! I just purchased a 67, M725. I am going to do the ford wheel cylinder conversion thats posted. What about replacing the hoses, I know at least one of mine is shot.Is there a stock hose # that will go with the ford wheel cylinders and connect to the original brake lines?
    any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    A stock brake hose will fit the Ford wheel cylinder and the stock metal brake lines.

    Unfortunately there isnt a part number we know of yet for these at a parts store near you...

    You can buy them from Memhis Equipment and AB Linn...though I think all of the ones they have are NOS so they are 40 year old rubber...might not be the best choice...

    VPW had lines made a few years ago...a little different than stock but fit and work fine.

    Pro-choice, that's a LIE, babies don't choose to die!!

    If you call the local hydraulic supply, what fittings do you ask for for each end of the lines?

    Probably be best to bring your old ones in to show them so they get the right fittings for sure.

    That is definitely true. I was just wondering if someone had already done this so others could get the new hoses made before taking off the old ones (if they still have operable brakes).

    The ones I purchased from Memphis looked great. I'm running them with no problems so far. They were reasonable.
