1968 front brake hose

Post by Skrulox »

Hello,

I recently bought a 1968 ford thunderbird, my first classic car. One of the things I'm needing to replace is the two front brake hoses. They are factory disc brakes. The issue is I can't seem to find the part for a reasonable price. (less than $100)
Is there a good substitute for the oem hoses?

Probably not if you want to keep the original calipers.

Damn, alright. I'm on a tight budget at the moment, but brakes aren't something i want to risk. I think I'll go ahead and get the ones i found on ebay for $100

You can get them from pretty much any vendor for steel braided brake lines. That's what I did. Was cheaper and an improvement at the same time.
