3/8 brake fluild hose..???

I want to add a bake master fluild resivior on my 1940 Plymouth I got the bottle .. I can get the fittings for the master under the floorboard...

But I can not find anyone to sell me 3/8 hose that will work with brake fluild ,, I have a lot of 3/8 tanny hose and water fuel

Napa says no good advbace etc etc..
someone said go to a hardware and get the clear tubing???

Does anyone know where I can get 3/8 hose @ 3 ft will do...
Thank-you

I tested a 3/8 trany line left it in a week of fluild and the fluild turned a nasty color...

 

How about getting the longest front flex. brake hose and cutting the ends off. I'm pretty sure they make them in about 3/8 dia.

 

I called the hose company Thank-you They do not have it!

I forgot to mention I need 3/8 inside dimention not ourside

Strange very hard to find.. Any other help "appreciated"

 

It might be easier to adapt to smaller fittings, use regular brake line.

 

You are planning on using glycol based brakefluid?
What about siliconebased instead ??

 

You can use #6 braided [ 3/8" I.D. ] with the nylon liner for brakes. Not sure they make it in #6. Why do you need such a big line for the brakes? JC

 

I just need it from the seperate master fluild resivior bottle to the master brake cyl. no pressure but so far can not find anyone that has a 3/8 inside hose..

 

why not a hydraulic hose.

 

That was my First Stop..! I was suprised to learn from him in wis not good to use for BrakeFLuild!! .....

 

Short update A guy on the bay makes . replacement brike line hoses and has this special ... " 3/8 ID- remote Brake Fluild Reservoir hose3 "
that will work with regular brake fluild..

 

Uh, any hardline will work.

 

/\ yep

 

I bought the remote brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder cap kit from Kugel Komponents. It came with a 3/8" ID rubber hose, about 6 feet of it, to connect the remote reservoir to the under-floor MC. The info printed on the hose says Thermoid/CS (? hard to read), 300psi. If you can't source it locally, try calling them, maybe they will sell you a length of it.

As a test, I cut a 3" length of it and immersed it in brake fluid within a container. It's been sitting in it for about 6 months, and I see no signs of it breaking down in any way. I hope this helps.

 

Hydraulic clutch systems also use brake fluid. Given the number of remote reservoir master cylinders used for those systems, I wouldn't be surprised if you could find something marketed for that application.

 

Go to junkyard and find a 4th gen 1993-2002 Camaro/Firebird with a manual trans.
They use a remote clutch reservoir with a rubber hose that should work fine.
