Okay, I'm using "intermediate" GM calipers and Dodge rotors on the 32 coupe I'm building, with basic "tabs" on the frame for the flex lines to fit into and hook up with the hard lines. Anyone know which stock number rubber flex line willl work best and be long enough?

Got an idea on length, I can look them up by ends, and length.

Well, just eyeballing it , it looks like the hose would have to be about 15" long at least, to allow for turns, and would need one end to fit the GM caliper and a straight end on the other end to fit straight thru the tab on the frame. Does that help? :?

Sounds like a 70's Camaro line is what you need Wagner F71379 should do it.

Thanks BIGTIME ,enjenjo, I got a set of those from my parts guy and it looks like they'll work just fine! Much appreciated, and also thanks for the suggestions from you other folks - I was sure "someone" would come up with something here!   :wink:
