Brake lines/hoses
« on: September 29, 2023, 11:13:15 PM »
So who has the best available brake lines and hoses? Classic Tube or Inline tube?? Combination of both? Other company not listed?

Thanks, Pat

I would like to order a set, how do you know if your 67 is a early car?

I purchased brake parts from Virginia Classic Mustang (as I do for most of my needed parts).  Classic Tube is what I received and they're great!  Quality and fit for my '66 was excellent!

The difference is that some early 67 cars used the smaller front caliper brake hoses that the 65/66 used. Later 67 cars used the larger size. The rear rubber hose was the same in 67 regardless. This is not the case or a issue for 68 Shelby's in which this question was posted in.

I think they were referring to the rear or front proportioning valve. Obviously more than early

67 has the proportioning valve in the rear regardless of if early or late. I was assuming the rubber hose aspect of the question given 67 GT350's early late reference.

I went to the website and get it figured out, I used my build date according to the Marti Report....I went with Classic Tube. I always heard that everything is right on. I sis not mean to get it away from 68.... Sorry. I got to think for a 68 if you go with Classic tube, you would be happy.
