Modern part numbers for CMPs

[Keith Webb]

Just to clarify, and this is the same on both Chevrolet and Ford, the vehicles with a driven front axle use 3 hoses - one to the axle, then one for each side, while the 4X2 versions have 2 hoses going directly from the chassis.

If they used the same hose it will probably be the early number where the hose comes straight from each side of the chassis to the wheel. Do you have an old hose for an over all length? I've found the modern parts book that list the hoses by fitting end and length so I can probably give you a US number.

Anyone looking for brake hoses .

get on ebay and look up the guy in Argentina . He manufactures new hoses to original specs for any Vintage vehicle . I bought a set of CS8/PU Morris hoses and Land Rover 1950 from him .. spot on .They are SAE specs ..good quality , not junk . He has all of the original specs on hand ..he must have an amazing number of catalogues

He is a fraction of the cost of new hoses here ..even with postage

Keith your cab12 has hoses from the chassis to the front wheels.

As Robert pointed out, see F15A brake lines for the "old" and "new location" brake line setup on 4x4 CMPs. I suspect the old location setup with flexible hose from chassis to front wheel brake cylinders was copied from the 4x2 chassis.
