Re: Need brake hose part numbers help

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg I assume you're talking about switching the spindles from side to side 
to move the calipers to the rear. Make sure you also switch the calipers too 
so the bleeder remains at the top otherwise you'll never be able to bleed 
them.

There may be a hose out there that might work but the proper thing to do 
when moving the calipers to the rear (and I know you don't want hear this) 
is too move the bracket that holds the brake line and hose to the front so 
the hose is bending properly or not being stretched. It's a geometry thing 
and the A body hoses will then work and bend as they were meant to. Of 
course this also means you'll have to reroute or replace your front brake 
lines.
