SS Brake Hoses

[Bob Seliga]

I have looked all over the internet for SS brake hoses and can't find any. Every source I checked says they have them for Corvettes except ZR-1. Any suggestions?

Check with forum member Jeffvette. That where I got mine.

I got mine from DRM

The rears for the ZR-1 are supposedly different - but they look the same to me.
Some years back I got a set from MidAmerica and had to return them because I couldn't get them to seal properly. The ones from DRM worked OK.

Earl's work fine. They don't exclude the ZR-1.

depending on year. I did have a fitment issue on the rear, but it turns out it's because I'm an idiot. Where it mounts to the caliper, there is a subtle angle on it, and I put it on the wrong way, angled into the caliper, so the hose rubs the tire sometimes.

On the '91 I just bought, I found that a previous owner installed Stainless brake lines, but I haven't seen this style before -- They don't use the banjo bolt to secure the line to the caliper, rather, there's a collar-type female fitting on the line, and the calipers have a male-male fitting that is threaded into the place where a banjo bolt would normally go.

Anyone seen this setup before? Is this just old-tech?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's apparently standard for Earl's lines, a Swivel-seal end on the braided line, and then a male-male threaded to -3AN adapter.

That's unusal on a stock caliper but my brembos use a banjo fitting.
