What Brake Hose for C4 Front/LT1 Rear Conversion?

What Hydraulic Brake Hoses for C4 Front/LT1 Rear Conversion on my '69 Camaro?

94 Vette (C4) front 12" calipers
97 Camaro Z28 rear calipers

Just need to know if I can use my stock '69 Camaro front hoses in the front and rear for this conversion.

What are you guys using?

I was told that for this conversion you'd want to use the 69 Camaro Front hoses for the rear, and 2000 Corvette front hoses for the front (but I've got C5 front calipers so yours may be different).

A disclaimer, though - I have not yet purchased the hoses so I don't have first-hand knowledge yet.

this works fine, or call Summit for the correct AN adapters. Let them know what you are running.

Hey guys,

I show the 94' Corvette to have the following fittings for the front:

Chassis side is: Female10x1mm (bubble flare)

Caliper side is: Banjo (Replaces block) 10mm hole, 16"

If you used the OE hoses from a 94' Vette you will experience trouble on the chassis side because the fitting on the chassis side for a 69' Camaro is:

Chassis side: Female3x8-24 inverted (double flare)

So while you would not have trouble on the caliper side, you will have a problem on the chassis side. Since Double flare and Bubble flare are not compatible!!

For the rear I show the same to be true.

What you need for both front and rear in fittings is:

Chassis side fitting: Female3x8-24 inverted (double flare)
and
Caliper side fitting: Banjo (Replaces block) 10mm hole

Find these hoses in the correct length for both front and rear and you got it.

(at least 16" in length front)
(at least 11-12" in length for the rear)

Good stuff, Laramie.

Got a couple of followup questions though -

1. Is the 2000 Corvette (front) hose chassis-side connector also the 10x1mm bubble flare?
2. Is the original 69 Camaro (front also) hose caliper connector a 10mm banjo, or an SAE size?

Billy,
Should the need arise I have these hoses in the SS Flex line type. $35 each + shipping.

2000 Corvette front chassis side is: M10-1.0 Concave female

69 Camaro front caliper side is: Banjo 7x16" hole, 15.6"

Good to know, thanks again, Laramie.

Do y'all carry the correct hoses for these applications?

Why yes we do. $35 each I believe we have them in stock.
