New guy with a108. What are you guys doing for front brake hoses?

Hey everybody. Glad I found this place, looks like alot knowledge you wouldn't find anywhere else. Has anyone had any luck finding stock hoses or a good substitute from another vehicle? I can't find a front hose listed anywhere. In the middle of a brake job and they look pretty badly cracked so I think I'd better do them.

,,,,on our Chevys,,,we use the aircraft steel braided lines

rock auto has them for $20. ea.http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?carcode=1385265&parttype=7388&a=FRc1385265k538120-1400166
i'd also suggest napa auto parts. Do you need front or rear or all give me a serial # and i can help.

Thanks for the help, I'll try rock auto. I have some hoses on order from auto zone also. They say that they're rear hoses but they're on 1" longer that what I have on the front. I can always return one set of them.

Glad you found the site.   Indeed, lots of helpful people and info. If it's an early, it's game on!

Hang around here, and the next thing you know, you will be putting disc on the front!

Pics of your A? Bring'em on.  

I will try to get some pics up, I'm just slapping it back together right now so I can push it around til my hoses come in the mail.

Where are you getting the steel braided lines please?

Earls is one  brand,   lots of places handle them,,,,,,the lines are all aircraft fitting types,,,,different lengths,,,,,,,and you buy the adapter fitting to match whatever you want to connect that line into,,,,,,
