Much like a rear brake hose on most trucks, BUT, needs that bigger size on one end. The other shapes of the ends, no matter, it will not be mounted by the hose at all. It is for the movement between cab and frame on my tilt. It is for the hydraulic clutch. The orig line was 1/4" metal, with hose built on, going to the 5/16" line on frame. I don't know why so big, but sure isn't common. I'm wondering if hydraulic hoses can be made with auto ends? So simple, Yet, so hard! My luck always!

I would think that you could find a hose that was correct on one end and then adapt the other to fit. If I remember tonight when I go home I will pull out my Wagner Hydraulic Buyers guide and see if there are any standard brake hoses that meet your requirement.

Driving around at work the other day, I saw a custom hose repair truck working on an excavator....looked to me like the van pulled up, made a new hose and installed it to fit on site????
wonder if they could fix ya up if you have any in your area? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 587 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 587 | Got it! Just found out my local brake supply shop has started making brake hoses. DOT approved, whole works. Cost me about $25, but is Just what I want, flexible like orig, and done!
Wasn't so hard afterall.
