Hopefully someone can help me,. I have a 70 6 cyl Mav with 4 lug drums. I just replace all the drums, shoes, wheel cylinders and master only to find I out my front brake lines are clogged. I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know if there is an interchange with another car. It has a banjo style fitting on the wheel cylinder side. Any help would be awesome!
Several seem to have this issue and I've never heard of a source for the lines, apparently are unique to '70 Maverick... The '71 uses the same hose as '67-'71 Fairlane/Torino/Ranchero, etc... Part no C70Z-2078-A (both R&L) What I'm guessing is you may have to swap to later wheel cylinders and use that hose... I don't know if those hoses have the same fitting on chassis end as the '70... Mac's has this hose, check link for pict... http://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_f...akes-left-or-right-14-1-4-long-1967-1971.html
The front hoses for a 71-73 Mustang w/disc brakes will fit. You will need to used a 3/8"-24 male to 7/16"-24 female adapter fitting between the wheel cylinder and hose.
This is what I am working with. I am gonna go to a mustang salvage yard here in Orange County, Ca to see if anything looks similar
There was a RH NOS one on e-Bay, but I'm not sure how well I'd trust a 45 year-old hose... http://www.ebay.com/itm/D0DZ-2070-E...ord-/271555009940?hash=item3f39f09d94&vxp=mtr
Jeff, any number of brake hose shops can take your old hose and make a new one reusing your old fittings. Your picture is a LH hose - the one on ebay as Paul said is a RH one. They are not interchangeable. google vintage car brake hose repair - you will find a number of places that do the work.
I'll definetly look into that! I'll let you guys know what happens, and yes this one was off the left but I need both sides:/ and $80 plus shipping is really steep!
