I have a 71 Custom and can't find the correct front brake hose. Talking about the rubber flex hose between the frame and caliper. The fitting that mounts to the frame on mine has 4 flat sides and 1 rounded measuring 5/8". Checked Advance, Zone and O'Riely. The only one I could from Advance has 2 flats 2 round measures 3/4", not even close. Looked at Summit and Year One no real good pictures to make a judgment. Anybody have a solution or a part #. Appreciate any help.
Thanks Vince

What brakes do you have drum or disc?
Try www.opgi.com (http://www.opgi.com) they are showing both types of hoses.

I got mine from Rock Auto. AC Delco 18J2017 for drum brakes, 18J3752 for disc brakes. It fit the bracket perfectly.

I have bought a bunch of parts from Rock Auto. Got a 5% discount for being a member from ECC. I told the customer service person I was a member !! I know 5% is not alot BUT it paid for the shipping & a buck or 2 off !! Now I get news letters from them & I keep getting that discount !! They do have expiration dates & they ship very fast !!
I think some of there stuff is better & pricing then Jegs & Summit !! JMHO

Disc brakes on front drums rear.
Front hose #18J3752, $9.01 each.
Rear hose #18J1769, $22.79.
And don't forget about the 5% discount - 6410506913492 (put this in the "how did you hear about us" field).
Mystery solved evidently a former owner was playing mix and match with the brake lines and installed a mount from another car on the right side, the left side had the stock brake assembly and hose.
