You talking about hooking it to the hard lines on the axle? The hoses i got hook right up to the hardline connections. It looks big but it fit good. I redid all the lines in rear but they were the same size connections as stock.
Easiest way to connect calipers to brake lines on rear disk conver.?
What's the easiest way to hook up the calipers on my rear disk conversion? :-?:
I bought a front brake hose for a 77 Chevy K20, but the end on it is HUGE? K5 Chris said some people use Chevette lines? Are they small enough to hook to the rear lines?

i originally bought front hoses for a late 70's early 80's chevette.
you are going to need a banjo bolt to bolt the brake line to the caliper.
I have the banjo's for the caliper's, just wondering how I'm going to adapt this huge end to the factory size (small) hardlines? I will check into Chevette lines tomorrow.
Thanks all!
Thanks all!

I used hoses from the front of a '79 Chevette. Bent a small piece of flat steel and drilled a hole, welded it to the axle, and retained the hose with a factory style clip.

I had Advance pull hose's for a 77 Chevette & a 77 K20 the other day. Identical hoses. Judging from your pics the nut on the end of the metal line just screws into the hose end.:dunno:
i used some hoses off of a newer body style chevy with discs in the rear of course. i cant remember what year but the work real good and are still chevy :bigthumb:
i got my entire kit from azkickin.com
i was told chevette hoses too.. for me locally they are $25 each.. so $50 when azkickin charged $60 for 2 hoses, custom brackets and all bolts.....
i havent seen them online anymore but maybe a google search on azkickin may bring up a parts list.....
quick google search pulled this up...

Yep, the nut on the hard line will thread into the end of the hose. The hose part number I used was BH86572 from O'Reillys, $12.49 each. The hoses should be different than the ones on a K20 because the K20 hoses are longer and usually have a metal tube about 6" long at the caliper end. I have seen some that use a rubber relief instead of metal, but they're not as common.
