Have a 72 Swinger with a 70 B-body 8 3/4, in it. I'm looking for the flex hose that connects to the rear end lines. Have no idea as to what either are called. See below. I need one from a B-body, as As & Bs have diff fittings. The flex line is the A-body one, which I can't use. The fitting, is the B-body one.  Any ideas where I might find these?

Thanks

Does the block come off the hose?

Well, I screwed up.  Trying to get the flex hose off the brake line, from the front, the whole thing spapped. Breaking the front to rear line at the hanger, that bolts to the frame.

So, it looks like I will need a front to back brake line.  The bracket and a new flex hose.

Man! it's fun working on 40 year old rigs.

just as well , you should always change lines that have been under a car that long, they carry the pressure for your brakes, you don't want any part of this system to fail

I just ordered a set of lines from Inlinetube, saw an ad in a magazine for them and decided to go ahead and get new lines for everything under the car, brakes, fuel and transmission.  Got the delivery in a very short time, huge box.  Not sure how the site feels about links to non vendor sites, if they don't like them, please delete it.  http://inlinetube.com/
