Rear brake line - Mopar

Philip Saran · 06-06-2008, 05:31 PM

1974 Duster, S/S springs (new), is it recommended to replace
the brake line down to the rear end (8-3/4) with a longer one?

If so anybody got a brand and part number?

Thanks in advance

I don't know if you'll need a longer brake line, but the after market fitting manufacturers like Russell's and XRP make steel braided brake lines, in many lengths, that will work as a direct replacement.

Thank you Gary, good information to have.

You shouldn't need a longer hose,or I should say i didn't on my A-body with super stock springs! And there is nothing wrong with updating the hose to steel braided it doesn't flex or grow under braking and its not 33yrs old.
