Front Brake Hose Length?

Post by FLGordie »

I purchased new front rubber brake hose to caliper and when they arrived I found that they are shorter than the hoses on the car. I don't know if the original owner changed the hoses with longer ones.

The hoses on the car are 15 inches.
The new hoses are 12 inches.

What size is correct?

I just put some centric hoses on front of my 79 and they were about 12". Oddly enough what came off was a bit shorter even and def looked stock.

Perfect. The 12 inch hoses will work. These new ones also came from Centric.

Thanks for the quick reply. Back to the project... new hoses, calipers, pads. Maybe rolling today!
