A-Body Disc Swap - Proper Brake Lines

I have installed the '76 Dart spindles on my '69.  I used the slider type calipers off of an '88 Diplomat.  I have swapped the LT's & RT's so that I can rear mount my calipers.  The bleeder is at the top and the line installs at the bottom.

Now, who can tell me what I should be searching for (Year, Make and Model) when it comes to purchasing a set front brake hoses for this car?

Get yourself a set of SST hoses with the proper ends and the correct length and you'll be set.  Goodridge makes hoses with the correct ends and in different lengths.  I think you'll want a set of hoses that are about 15 inches long but you should measure to be sure.  The banjo fittings are kind of large, 7/16 bolts if I recall correctly.  Be sure to get crush washers at the same time.

Personally I've stopped using braided SST hoses and have gone to custom made rubber lines.  I get my stuff made up at a local place here in Portland OR called Oil Filter Service Co.  If you know what you need you can call them and they'll build you the hoses or you can look in your local area to find someone who builds custom hoses.  OFSCO has the ability to make custom hoses while you wait that are DOT approved.  So I swing by there on a regular basis and have them build hoses for my brake kits.
