Front brake on 1936

[broker-len]

Question for 36 owners    on the front brakes   does the male end of the hydrolic brake line go directly into the wheel cylinder or is there a brass fixture ???   could you post a picture of your front end--------------------thanks so much

On my '36 Dodge, the line mounts directly into the wheel cylinder. Most likely the same on the Plymouth.

If I can remember, I'll check today and let you know. I might have 2 used cylinders around, but they would have to be rebuilt. I sent mine to White Post Restorations to be relined. I do believe that there is a sealing washer on the male part of the hose.

Just checked, the hoses just screw into the cylinders and there is a copper washer on the male end to seal it with the cylinder. that washer should come with a new hose. If you can find someone that sells hyd parts you may be able to find some if you need them. They still may be available at the modern parts stores. I'm sure, if you have the cylinders refurbished, the company can supply the washers. Still looking for the cylinders.
