My original hoses are getting rather flimsy. The left caliper is starting to drag noticeably. I ordered new hoses and the ones that arrived are different than what I have. The new ones are long and have a banjo fitting to attach to caliper. My hoses are attached to the spindle and frame with short steel line connecting hose to caliper. The hose has same fitting at both ends.

Looking thru an EIS archive catalog that covers years 1926 -1974 show the 3000 and Sprite use the same hose. The ones I have now will fit my 69 Sprite and Bugeye so I will keep them.

EIS SP6263
Centric and Raybestos BH36901

I added these Raybestos hoses in with a larger order for another vehicle to save on shipping, otherwise they would have come from Moss or VB.

can you post photo of your new hoses? Also, very good idea to change the rear hose at the same time.

The originals lasted nearly 50 years, so I am not too impressed with SS lines that cost 3X more than a set of stock ones.
