I am in the process of changing from a 6 cyl to a 8 cyl. I got the frontend changed from 4 lug to 5 lug with new disc brakes. I have changed the rearend from stock to a versailles rearend but now i can not find brake hoses for the right or left side. Does anyone have any idea on where to find them. I have tried Summit, Rock Auto, Napa, O Reily's, Advance. I have been looking for brake hoses about 2 months.
Thanks,
NC Harley

Odd NAPA couldnt order it for you .
Check out this link it tells you the other makes and years that have the same rear you can check for parts on those. Another option is the factory 8" 5 lug they will hold a good bit of power I went 9" Currie when I built 500+ on my 66 other than that the 8 served me well with about 300 hp for over 20 years that I drove the car.

Hope it helps.

Hi, I'm new to this site. I have a 65 Mustang with a fresh Versailles rear end. I can't find the rear brake caliper hoses either. I have found them in several places, but none of them can get them because they are on back order. I have been looking for almost a year. How long can backorder possibly last. Does anyone know where these can be purchased?

Mustangs Plus doesn't appear to carry them either. I just emailed them to see if they could get the hoses.

I got mine from Currie Enterprises. Check to see if you have 3/8-24 ends for the banjo bolt and you are good to go (the other end fits standard 3/16 hard line):

Okay, I just realized that I have Explorer discs. Here is a link for the right one for the Lincoln:

Spoke with Rock Auto on Friday and they could not get them.

Do you know what the thread size is on the caliper and if it is banjo or IF? It is a non-floating caliper and with the correct type seal and thread size known, we can come up with some alternatives.

I believe any diesel shop can make you the hoses you need if it comes down to it.

I purchased some stainless steel hoses for a DB conversion on my Corvair from Brake Hoses Unlimited, located in Holland, MI. Nick Christman is the owner. Email goodbrakes@brakehoses.biz . His phone number is 616-836-7885

The hoses were custom made with standard Chevrolet Corvair fittings on one end, and Cadillac banjo fittings on the other. Nick can make them to any length, any fitting, stainless steel or rubber hoses.

I thought he was very reasonable. Give him a try.

I just emailed the ebay store for Brake Hoses Unlimited. Hopefully, there will be good news there.

I didn't think about the diesel shop. I may check into that.

Do you think that Currie Enterprises can make them or has them?

I am doing the exact same thing to my 65. It was an I6 200 3 speed. It is now going to be a V8 302 5 speed T-5. It has Granada front disc also.
