nice one...thx dude

ok since i dont get an answer from kanter i have one little question left...

wich of these two rubber brake hose do i need? they say theres one "Brake Hose 66 - 80 Rear hose for most Cars with Disc Brakes" and one "Brake Hose 36 - 80 Rear hose for most Cars with Drum Brakes"

i have drums in the rear and discs in the front

Well, if you're looking for the rear hose, you get the drum hose. If you need the front hose, it's the disc.

This is the part number for the hose I got: Kanter 01156L

I have front disc and of course (for now) rear drum.

i see...thx

In line tube can duplicate your part at a competitive price, they then at it to there inventory of available parts.

If Inline Tube wants more than $34 for the hose then Kanter is a better deal... I have dealt with both companies and while I had a bit of an issue with Kanter due to their web-only free shipping, I can tell you that the ball joints I just installed yesterday were top quality and they seem to provide good parts. Same for Inline without the free shipping hassle; I bought a brake delay valve from them recently and it is indeed the part I needed.

While we're on the subject, anyone know if they make braided stainless lines for these anywhere?

Wait, ball joints? Where'd you find those, and for how much? The only ones I've turned up were from Autozone, and $130+ each... Or... wait, does my '66 have different joints than your '69? Did you happen to find some Control Arm Bushings as well? The only lower sets I can find are $75 a side, which seems a little unreasonable...


EDIT: Oh, wait... found 'em on Kanter... they got an entire front end rebuild kit for $312 Which should include all ball joints, bushings, and stabilizer links! Plus, they got a lifetime warranty to boot! Just what I needed, and at almost half the cost I was wracking up on my own.
