Brake line question
Hey guys,
Still working on my front brakes. I pulled the lines that run about 4 inches from the wheel cylinder up to the hose. and they were totally stuck and I rounded the heck out of the connectors. I have been trying to find replacements and this is the only thing I've found that might be right.

Are these what I'm looking for?

Thanks HIO, looks like I got another project to keep me busy. I need to get her roadworthy by Saturday so local would be best, anywhere you suggest other than NAPA or O'reillys?

My bad.... add a die kit... about $30.
Btw, the Speedway tubing cutter can cut off the double flare right at the flare so all is lost is about 1/4-inch of length.
Any parts store worth a damn better have fittings.

The hardware kit I just bought did not have that spring either. They had matching springs for the top of the shoes only. My brakes did not have that cross spring.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like the aftermarket world is selling you guys fit all kits that are actually for the REAR. The spring in question is front only.

On the diagram I have it says 2283 I believe. But that is the same as the top springs.
