JFranklin Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) Go to your nearest NAPA dealer or brake shop. They should have every length available. Edited June 9, 2018 by JFranklin (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFranklin Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) I would think they could get you set up easily. They have a lot of specification info unlike some of the modern (eg. O'Riley) stores. The end fittings are fairly common and many cars used different lengths. Edited June 9, 2018 by JFranklin (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-a-n-i-e-l Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Not sure what the cross reference is but as long as the banjo bolt is the same diameter I think these are just what you are looking for. https://www.ebay.com/itm/10mm-Metric-Rubber-Disc-Brake-Hose-Banjo-Bolts-Truck-Drop-Kit-Spindles-22/192364527546?epid=26009570363&hash=item2cc9d1bfba:g:zRkAAOSwYeRaCz0j:sc:USPSFirstClass!79924!US!-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-a-n-i-e-l Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The 10mm refers to the female threads that connect to the steal lines on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was feeling bad about recommending them and maybe worse about being wrong on the thread size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PABrady Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I ordered the EBay hoses and the ones I got don't fit either. I must have got the 3/8 24 hoses also. The Ebay ad must inaccurate in its description. Any new leads on longer hose that fits? Keep in mind with the Camaro brake upgrade, the Reatta caliper location is on the front of rotor different from the rear mount Camaro. So if you want the Bleeder Screw on top, you have to mount the left Camaro caliper on the right and vice versa. Unfortunately when you do this, there is no way to use the Reatta brake hose even if you bend the bracket. Anyway never seen that mentioned in this forum. Forgive me if this is common knowledge.

Barney Eaton Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I was trying to find a replacement hose (locally) for my 1939 Buick and the people at NAPA were very helpful. They had a vendor catalog that listed the different ends and lengths......you find what you need and hope they have it in stock. There may be an online catalog that would do the same thing but I did not look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRJBUICK Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 check out this place www.morelandhose.com they have 2 locations on Long Island i don't know if they do mail order but if we have them on LI i am sure there must be other companies that might be closer to you seen as you are modifying go with the braided hose trick it out a little more good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob H Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 You may not have a logging supply that has a hydraulic hose shop where you are but we do. With absolutely no hassle, they made up a set of three slightly longer hydraulic hoses for our 1939 Buick project. Really nice stuff, fast turnaround and better pricing than aftermarket Buick parts suppliers. Look for a shop that does hydraulic hoses.

PABrady Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Thanks I cheeped out and ended up using the 3/8 24 brake hoses I already purchased. The main problem with the them is that they use a Inverted flare instead of a Bubble and I could not find an adapter. My solution was to purchase a 8 inch long brake line that had a 10mm Bubble on one end and a 3/8 24 Inverted in the other. Then cut the line to 2 inches and re-flare the Inverted end. Then I added a double female coupler to the Bubble end. Not the greatest but it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handmedownreatta Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 i did find a hose that would work by swapping the reatta hose bracket but apparantly i didn't post it here.i thought i did.it was for a mercedes suv i believe.
