Brake hose on C5 conversion

[69importkilla]

So I just did a C5 conversion on my 69. Is there any factory GM brake hoses that will work? I know the vette caliper is metric but what size is the hard line coming from the master.

Any suggestions?

Hard line should be 3/8-24 inverted flare, caliper is 10mm banjo...I'm sure there are OE hoses that could be made to work, but is there a reason you would prefer to rubber over reinforced braided stainless?

No reason, just looking to tidy it up and get a "baseline"....

Factory hose will not work because the hardline is standard on the car end. Kore3 sells hose kits that are correct for this swap, metric to standard.

Silly me. On my '68 Camaro I used a braided stainless steel (Earls maybe) front brake hose set for a '68 Camaro and the 10mm banjo bolt for the caliper. Never had any issues with it. The rectangular banjo fitting on the brake line fit perfectly on the C5 caliper.

I used the OEM C5 hoses with a small brass adapter from Napa to go from the late model bubble flair rubber hose, to the oringial Inverted flair hard lines

the napa number was WH1442
oreillys number is 271300

worked perfectly, and if anything fails, I can buy parts at any local parts store.

Do you happen to have a photo of how you routed the factory soft lines on your car?

Why do you want an OEM hose?

Place like Crown can make you what ever you want in what ever configuration
