Rear Brake Hoses

[davidb]

Anyone know who has the proper LENGTH rear brake hoses. The last pair I bought are like an 1” or so
too long. They rub against the inner lip of my wheel rim. Very frustrating & certainly NOT safe. Thx.

I got a pair of Beck/Arnley branded hoses for my '85 many ears ago, and they were a good fit.Never mind, this is the X1/20 forum.

hoses for my '85

There was a thread on this recently

Rear Brake Hoses

Big Shout out to Midwest Bayless for having the correct length rear brake hoses. Currently I am replacing my coil overs with new shocks and monte springs, During the swap I noticed my brake hoses seemed stressed, ie. too short. Sometime last week I received a Midwest Bayless "Specials" email...

Seems like you answered your own question there
But for TMH money (assuming they're correct, as no mention of length) you may as well get a full set of stainless - the monezone ones even include the necessary banjos:

Lancia Montecarlo Brakes: Stainless Steel Brake Pipe Kits: EBC Braided Brake Hose Kit

Brakes Stainless Steel Brake Pipe Kits EBC stainless high performance braided brake line kit. This item comes complete with the necessary short length banjo bolts that would normally be extra on other kits.

MWB (Matt) has rubber & S.S. braided rear Scorp. brakes hoses. Each 10.5 “.
He notes in his listing for the rubber ones that they’re 3/4” to 1” longer than
factory. He cautions that you’ll have to use zip ties to keep them outta the
way. So if the S.S. braided ones are 10.5” long also (too long) you’ll have to
use zip ties w/those as well to keep them from rubbing on the wheel rim, etc.

Yes, I'm aware of that, which is why I suggested the Montezone ones in the link - although in the other thread you said the TMH ones were ok, but now you don't seem so sure

As per your suggestion I’m ordering hoses from MONTEZONE. Their hoses
are 250 mm which is 9.8+ inches. Way shorter than ten and a half inches.
Why I continue to torture myself w/this car escapes me. I bought it 20 yrs.
ago. It’s never been driven. I’m 73 & can barely work on it. Label me nuts.

I think that's a fair summary that some of us can concur with but sounds like you're getting there, so can't be bad

I'm the same age and mine has been torturing me for 49 years. However, it is all worth it once you start driving the car. Hope you get there soon.
