Title: Brake hose question
Post by: fireguyfire on May 28, 2019, 02:51:23 PM
Rebuilt the whole front end on my 73 challenger and am about to install new rubber front brake lines into the new calipers.
Do the front brake hoses use a copper ring gasket where they thread into the calipers? The new hoses didn't come with any and I can't recall if my old ones had washers or not when I removed them.

there are about 3 different types of connections depending which caliper & hose you have
do you have a picture ?

Usually takes copper washers
