Not that important

Just a point of curiosity... my 69 dart GT has 10" front brakes. The hoses are for 9" brake set up though. I have the short hard lines on the back of my brake plates and the female/female brake hoses like a 9" set up. I just noticed when ordering hoses I have to order 9" hoses even though I have 10" brakes. Curious if anyone has seen that....

Could you change to 10 inch hoses?


10" hose (~13" long)

9" hose (~11.5" long)

looking at the wheel cylinders for the 69 they are not interchangeable

9" use a 1" bore

10" inch uses a 1.125" bore

Thanks for the pics. My wheel cylinders don't look like either of those. I think my brakes must be out of a later year car. Thank you.

I just confirmed that the 10 " parts shown above match the parts I took off my oem 10" front drum 67 Dart

Is there anyway (just by looking at the backing plate) to tell what year the brake plate came from? I don't see any numbers on it... The wheel cylinders seem like they are from 73 and newer but the drums and shoes are 2.25" which would indicate earlier.... Not sure any of it really matters as long as it works.....
