A brake hose source for vintage vehicles

November 1, 2011 | By Richard Prince

Question:

I cannot find anyone who makes front brake hoses for a 1972 Ford LTD. Do you know of anyone who makes them or could fabricate them? Could I fabricate them myself from braided hose? I am sure I’m not the only one in this situation.

Answer:

A company called Brake Hoses Unlimited manufactures and sells a wide variety of brake hoses for antique and collectible vehicles, including the front hoses for your 1972 Ford. You can buy the company’s products at http://www.brakehoses.biz and you can contact them at goodbrakes@brakehoses.biz.
