Anybody know the Delphi part numbers for front and rear brake hoses to fit a `67 BJ8?
 
Unless You are staying totally stock, now is the time to get braided steel hoses, the increased pedal firmness is fantastic.
 
My pedal firmness was excellent until these original 50 year old lines turned to sponge rubber. Now I have to pump the pedal once to get a good feel. You can see them expand when pressure is applied. And the left caliper is holding pressure causing some drag. Im guessing its a good time for new ones.
 
Another sign of a bad rubber hose, not necessarily the caliper.

The caliper pistons had chrome flaking off and a rusted ring around the sealing area. So I replaced the pistons and with new kits. Most of the brake system has the rubber replaced. Last thing on list are the three original rubber hoses. Its been long enough for the replacement parts to start failing now.
