Looking for Russell SS brake hoses? Great Deal! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Flyman 27 · 04-22-2018

I wasn't planning on buying immediately, but I had researched the Russell Stainless Steel Brake Hoses for my '91. I am certain the 27 year old brake hoses are kinda tired by now...

The Russell #692020 fits 88-92 C4 and '90-92 ZR-1. Note: the pkg says that it does not fit ZR-1, but all the online fitment/application guides (like Summit) all say that they will fit '90-92 ZR-1.

They are available all over for $99 to as high as $149.

I found them on Amazon for $67!

I thought that maybe the price was a mistake? Or what?
But I made the purchase & I now hold them in my hands, so the deal is real.
It does look like maybe it is older packaging (Made in USA!!!).
Maybe they are clearancing them out??
Don't know, but the deal is real!

Good find......the Russell site also includes your number to fit 90-92 ZR-1's
For 94-96 Corvette (including 94-95 ZR-1)......part # 692180 cost $109
For some reason the Russell site does not list applications for a 93 Corvette base or ZR-1.......could be a misprint or oversight on their part.....

If you plan on playing with SS hose, invest in high quality SS hose cutter - looks like sharp version of padlock cutter with long handles for leverage.
Rotary cutter with good blade probably will work also. I tried with hacksaw and I thought my arm might fall off.

There is no cutting required for these hose sets.
They come completely assembled.

Oh, brake lines... didn't check the link. I thought you were talking about generic stainless steel hoses for custom fabrication.

They are now out of stock, but they are still taking orders and are honoring the $67 price.
They will ship when they arrive.

This deal is officially over. The listed price now is $130.

Flyman 27 · 06-02-2018

The deal is back!
Amazon lists the hoses as backordered and is accepting orders at $67 set!

These are now back in stock at Amazon for the $67 price. What a deal!

These are currently on sale for $87 on Amazon. Funny that after several years, the packaging still says "Expect ZR-1"
