71 Front Brake Hose
 

How long is a front brake hose for a 71? Napa hose was too short, data shows 11.5". Every vendor shows 11.5" I know the 71-72 hoses are longer due to tab location. Does anyone have a part number that worked on their 71-72.

Call Inline Tube. Just picked up a set from them and they work well.

I think the 2 sides are different lengths. I also got mine from Napa and for what ever reason I had to switch them from one side to the other because the part numbers were not correct, or something like that.

Well by measuring a new set I get one side is
12" from end of hose that connects to brake line to center of banjo bolt hole,
the other side is
12 1/2" total length from end that connects to brake line of hose to end of banjo fitting.
The 3/4 ton hoses are approx. 1" longer per side.
Sorry I don't remember whether the Left drivers side or the Right passenger side is the longer hose at the moment without checking that's installed.

You cannot put the hoses on the wrong sides. The nuts on the metal lines are two different sizes. The last rubber lines I ordered from rock auto also for a 1/2 ton worked but they were from china. Are you putting these on a conversion or a 71/72?

Going on a 71. Foolishly disposed of old lines so can't compare. Napa part would not reach from caliper to hard line.
Thanks for measurements
