Brake hoses

[Vinman1]

Hope all are doing well. Looking for suggestions, cross reference, or part #'s for brake hose set for live axle Seven with Gt-6 front calipers? Any info greatly appreciated.

Pics of the installed hoses and the lengths would help with good images of the ends.

I bought mine from Dave Bean.

Toldfield,

 

Ken at Dave Bean has been a huge help on my project. The uprights, axles, bearings, races, calipers, caliper brackets, brake shoes, bushings, and hardware all were recommended and sourced by him. His knowledge on these cars is incredible. The brake lines and AP racing m/c came from Cateram

Ken is an enabler, in a very good way.

I don't understand why you haven't upgraded calipers/rotors???

Very clean project,  btw.

Do you have a build thread?

Iamscoticus,

 

Front calipers are GT-6. Car is a live axle with English Ford rear end. I did a rear disc conversion with a kit from Motorsport Tools that has Cosworth calipers. The car came with the original 13" K&N wheels, so caliper clearance / choices are limited. Won't know for sure until I drive it, but I believe the brake set up will be good. I do have a build thread, but I do need to get better at, find time for posting...

Nice pics. I was asking for pics in order to try to help you select the new parts. I like to offset the brake line ends so the lines can hug the chassis.
