Brake Lines

[pacuda59]

Since I'll be replacing my front drums with discs from a 75 Dart, do I get brake lines for the Dart or the Barracuda?

Dart.

If you plan to place the calipers to the rear you will need longer hoses like Aspen/Volare

Thanks, I had forgotten about that. If you have the 72 back sway bar then you have to mount the calipers to the rear because they won't clear the sway bar.

Get the anchorage off the frame too. The opening s different for some apps. I had to open my existing ones with a die-grinder. Took forever an looks like poop.

So the hoses for the 75 Dart would be too short for a rear mount?

Yes. You will need them off a Aspen/Volare as RedFish said.

OK....thanks

The OEM A-body hoses have a short section of metal tube at the caliper end where the banjo bolt goes. Some have successfully bent that tube enough to prevent hose stretching. Others trying this have either cracked the metal tube or had it drag against the inside of the wheel.
Bottom line... Do yourself a favor and buy the longer hoses.

I was talking to my mechanic today about mounting the calipers on the rear of the spindle and he had a question. He says the mounting holes for the calipers are on the front of the spindle. Does he need to reverse the spindles.....left to right?

Yes
