    Hi Everyone
    Could anyone tell me what front brake hoses to use when using juice brakes on a model A , I seem to remember reading on here somewhere that people use longer truck ones .
    Thanks Graham

    I'm using 19" braided hoses front and rear from Speedway. The longer hoses allow you to make repairs on the suspension without breaking the hydraulic system.

    1946-1948 Ford hoses do the trick. Just put them in my "A". Perfect fit. Mounted in the side of the frame rail.

  5. Yep, same here. Drilled out the back hole for the stock shock. To what ever size it was. 5/8th or 11/16.
