i am converting my 66 dart from the 9 inch drums to lbp disk brakes . I am stumped on the brake caliper hoses . Do i use 73-76 brake hoses? Are they going to be long enough? Thank you for your help |

If you're using '73-'76 A-body slider calipers mounted to the front, hoses for the same should work. If you mount the calipers to the rear, try Volare/Aspen hoses and be careful about the bleed screw location and hose orientation/clearance. You'll need to slightly modify the hose bracket to fit the hose block. Here are some photos from my '64 Valiant. 205-60R15's on 15X7 rims fit with 13mm offset.

I mounted my calipers in the rear and used Aspen / Volare brake hoses. |

I went with front mount and used the 73-76 hoses on our 71 swinger just to keep it simple. I shipped all the parts and had to finish the work inside of a week away from home and we drove the car from northern Washington to southern California with a side trip to Yosemite. I would have preferred a rear mount as well. I am going to be using an addco sway bar and will find out what kind of hassle that may be soon. I have thought a little bit about putting holes in the k-member and using the 73-76 style sway bay, but it would be easier to just get new hoses and calipers and swap to rear mount. I hope it does not come to this. |
