New brake lines:

[bulldogchesty]

I am still in the process of converting to disk brakes on my 68 Newport. I have one side done and it looks like the new brake hoses are too short. The spindles and calipers are from a 1973 Plymouth that I bought from someone on this site. Where can I purchased longer brake hoses?

I just did this with these. The hoses have to be at least 14 1/2 inches long.

When I converted my '70, I bought all new parts based on the year of the ones I put on, not the year of the car. Yes, many things are different, including the size of the dust caps.

I bought the brakes for a 1973 Plymouth. I just measured the ones I bought and they are 15 inches.

Hmmm, interesting. Perhaps the hose bracket that attaches to the stub frame is either in the wrong position, or upside down. I know I had to flip mine going from drum to disk.

I guess I could relocated the hard line so it is closer to the caliper.

That's just about where I have mine located.

Agreed, looks proper to my eye.

No relocation for me, I made my custom brake hoses at work.
