-72 crossover brake hoses?

[Hebster52]

Anyone able to tell me what lenght and types the front and rear rubber brakehoses should be for the crossover baywindows?

I think that the fronts should be the type below and the lenght about 330mm?
But have not found any info about the rear rubberhoses?

Replaced mine a couple of years ago, I got them all from Just Kampers.

They have the fronts listed as 330mm

The offside rears as 270mm, but no size shown for nearside, and not the same fittings on near and offside.

VW Heritage have the fronts listed as 340mm
and rears as 290mm (left) and 275mm (right).

Btw.. Nearside = left side and off side = right side, right?

Hiya heb,

As long as you are changing out brake lines you might want to think about checking on the condition of the vacuum hosing for your brake booster. That hosing often goes unattended until it just outright fails leaving you with unresponsive brakes - not a good thing.
