    Mustang Steve questionabout your rear brake hose

    In Vandalia you pointed out the rear hose on your Versaille rear axle that distributes from a single input to a dual output. that has the rubber hose and connects to the axle. My lines run too close to my exhaust so you recommended a 1969 version that rolls it to the side of the axle instead of the Versaille top one. Before I order this I wanted to make sure this was the correct one and also ask if the inner diameter of all rear brakes are supposed to be the same for disc or drums. I am still trying to figure out why my brakes won't work as well as I want.
    This is the one I found:

    or
    http://www.cjponyparts.com/raybestos-brake-hose-rear-except-boss-302-428cj-1967-1969/p/BHR2/

    I appreciate your help and hope to have some parts awaiting my return from the desert. Need some Zen Shop Time to decompress.

    Ed, if it is the correct part.. check out Rockauto.com.  They have the first one for $18.65..  BENDIX # 88404  
    They also have Dayco and Dorman for even less.

    Oreilly AutoParts Part # BBH  BH36603    $24.99

    Or Rockauto as suggested, I did not check the fitment there as this is the one I buy.

    Do you have your emergency brakes connected and in use?  If not the brakes will not work well.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Re: Mustang Steve questionabout your rear brake hose

    When I get back next week, I plan on installing the E Brake handle and cables. I got some great ideas from crawling underneath all of your cars at the BASH. Does not having the E-brake connected affect my rear brakes? Of course finding out the right axle seal was leaking onto the brakes would have a little to do with it.
    It is killing me to sit here in the Desert and have all of these project screaming for my attention.
    Patience is NOT a virtue, it is an annoyance.
    Thanks for the part numbers.
    Ed

    Without having the ebrake operational and used once in a while, pad wear, even a slight amount, will show up as extra travel in the pedal.
