I've installed a new set of stainless steel brake lines that I purchased from Inline Tube. I'm using the original T-Blocks on the truck and everything fits just fine with the lines and the T-Blocks. However, I also got 3 New Hoses (2 front wheels and 1 rear axle) that I'm having some trouble. The hoses connect to the brake cylinders just fine, but the Female end that is supposed to connect the the steel lines is way too big. It appears to be 1/2 inch. I believe all the steel lines I have are 3/8? Does anyone know where I could get a good set of the 3 Hoses (2 Front & 1 Rear) that have the correct Female connection to my steel lines?

I would contact Inline Tube and ask them if they should have sent adapters. If they market the product to fit your specific application then it should fit! Of course that also applies to whoever you got the hoses from.

This one gives all the dimensions for you to check, including the length for the one at rear. Listed at O'Reilly's as a Raybestos PN: BH13841. Buy 3 here, no ship, no wait (maybe 4 hrs) and can take back easily.

Excellent! The OReilly says End 2 Female is 3/8, believe that is exactly what i'm needing. My sincerest Thanks!

Rec'd the O'Reilly hoses in the mail today-they were a perfect fit. So glad I came to the forum with the question, appreciate the tip Bart!
