PBR calipers on my '84, which brake hoses?

[machm1969]

Today I'm finally mounting the SN95 spindles and PBR calipers, but which brake hoses do I need to use? I'll post pics when it's together.

Thanks,

when i did mine (84 4 cyl notch) i used after market 87+ fox lines and the pbr banjo bolts. worked great, no adapter needed for the brake line.

I went to the parts store today to look at brake hoses and the 87+ one they gave me screwed into caliper instead of using the banjo bolt just like on my '84.

Make sure that you are looking at the brake hoses for a V8. I opted for Maximum Motorsports Part # MMBK1F braided hoses. Well worth the $75 I spent.

I used the lines that came with the PBR calipers. One used a 3/8-24 fitting (standard for 3/16 brake line), and the other used a 7/16-24 fitting.

I dont know how it applies to stock braklines because they were rusted so bad that the line broke taking the fitting off, so I reflared it and put new fittings on.

I figured it out. The guy at the auto parts store gave me the wrong hose. I looked at the pics online and was able to figure it out, so I went back and got the hoses for an '87. I had to file down the "block" where the banjo bolt goes through just a tad, and I had to bend the metal part of the hose so it wouldn't hit the strut, but everything seems to look and fit OK and best of all, no leaks!
