| Rubber Brake Hoses for 86 Vette-Help! |
Subject: Rubber Brake Hoses for 86 Vette-Help! by Flashman on 2008/8/27 23:11:37 Hello All, I am trying to replace the front rubber brake hoses on my 86 vette. I have returned two sets of rubber hoses that are incorrect for my application. The first was a GM auto parts supply, and Ecklers. The problem is where the threaded socket connects to the steel brake line with the flange. My threaded socket is deep and the inside is recessed down in. The replacement brake line sockets are not deep and had a male protruding flange inside the socket. Therefore I can not screw the steel threaded flange to the rubber hose socket. My car is an early 86 with cast iron heads. Has anyone ever had this problem? I must replace the hoses because one is collapsed and pulls left when braking. I will take some pics and post later. Thanks. Joe-Flash |
