getting closer

Ok:
i am doing a power disk brake upgrade to my 69. i am stuck at the brake hoses. the only ones i can find are too short. i think it is that the bracket on the 69 where the rigid line mees the hose is located differently than the 73 that the front end came from (rotors, calipers, etc).

any ideas where i can get extended hoses? maybe i should try something else?

69 brakes

hi ty
im not sure, but can you splice into the hard lines to make them match a 73
and then add your hoses to complete. I have a 72 that i am thinking about starting on to do the same thing to. I am in winston salem and would like to
help if at all possible to get familiar with what is all involved in the swap

the hoses will still be too short because the brackets are located differently on the 73 to 79 models. four wheel drive lines will work.
