Longer Hoses

[jar84203]

I have a 71 Duster that has been converted to73 disc brakes and was wondering if anyone knew of a brake hose that was longer than the 73. Problem is (and I don't know if it's a problem when the vehicle is on the ground) when I have it jacked up, wheels off, the hose is maxed out when the wheel is turned all the way in.

I think you'll find that when you put the car on the ground the hoses will be just fine. Right now the suspension is at full travel and the hose will be at its limit. hope this helps. Marcel

Yeah that's what I expected. I'll have to double check it. I was primarily worried because I am currently installing 2" drop spindles and they move the caliper farther away.

You forgot to mention the drop spindles in your OP. That could make a difference.

Wouldn't the caliper move up also? With drop spindles, everything should move up.
