Title: 1965 galaxie rear rubber brake line
Post by: Dieselman966 on October 27, 2019, 11:37:02 PM
Where are you guys sourcing your from.  I cant seem to find it anywhere. It should I just convert it to a JIC fitting and put a 1/4" line on it?

Rockauto had them.65 galaxie parts are dropping out of their catalog one by one.
I'm pretty sure you can use the front brake hose in the back too,somebody with better  knowledge correct me please.

I just changed out my '64 2 dr to stainless line on the rear.  I had replaced it with rubber 22 yrs ago, but as I was trying to bleed the system after adding disc up front I found a lack of fluid in the rear.  Don't know how long it has been bad?  It stopped "okay"(for 4 wh drum).  The new nylon/stainless lines are nice.  Make sure to get "DOT" rated lines.   They typically have black vinyl coating over the stainless braiding.

Just changed that in my 67 Fairlane after fighting with no fluid to the slaves while trying to bleed a new Wilwood master. When I cleaned off the brass fitting on the old clogged one for a peak I saw an 11 66 date. It’s hanging on the shop wall now. Rock Auto had several to choose from for my car.
