Braided front brake hose for '69 Torino

[fantasygoat]

I'm trying to find a set of hoses for my car but none of the typical vendors make them specifically for my car.

I'm hoping someone here might know what ends I need and the length of hose, so I can pick up some universals.

Thanks...

Tobin @ Kore3 has some braided lines made for him that he brands. You might want to give him a call to pick his brain and see if he can have them fabbed. He's an awesome guy to deal with.

Thanks for the props Dan. As for the '69 Torino in question, are you running just the factory original disc/drum setup or are you running aftermarket disc brakes? I can tell you what the catalogs say, however verifying that information is usually a very good idea in my experience. FWIW, the catalog info we have is noted below for a 2-door '69 Torino where FIF = SAE female inverted flare:

Front: 3/8-24 FIF x 3/8 banjo x 14.25" long
Note - There are left and right hand versions of the front hoses due to a handed anchor bracket on the frame end of the caliper hoses.

Rear: 3/8-24 FIF x 3/8-24 FIF Tee x 15.313" long
Note - The tee fitting is somewhat unusual in that it's more like a "Y" fitting, however I don't know of any aftermarket options that will be anything but a true tee fitting.

Hope that helps,

Tobin,

The info you have is correct. My Ranchero is the same thing as a Torino under the skin, so I've got the same setup.

I'm not clear tho - are these hoses something you have or can make? I'm running the factory disk brakes up front.
