Need help with a part

[KDAWG97M3]

I have a 1968 Bronco. I am redoing the brake system. Hoses, etc. I am down to the master cylinder hoses and the H block ( not sure if I should replace, but for 90.00 maybe -your opinion would be great!)

I am looking for the rubber master cylinder lined. They are steel into the MC, then rubber, back to steal. these hoses. I have attached the link as I can’t seem to figure out how to post pics. ( sorry) Seem to be sold out everywhere. Any replacements I am not aware of? Thank you for your help.

What I am looking for:

Bronco Master Cylinder Lines, 1967-75 Soft Lines - Broncograveyard.com

note will work for 1966 Bronco with dual line master cylinder

From my perspective those hoses listed have more failure points, as it is a small length of hose with steel lines attached (screwed together) on either end. The factory hose was one unit.
I would go with two steel lines, that have the coils in them, and call it good. I say this as I can make them myself or modify them myself to fit the 68. Now for someone who my not have the experience or tools needed, it becomes more of a challenge.
My suggestion is, if the direct replacement with the hoses is unavailable, then I would go with the steel lines... Have a conversation with your local Bronco Vendor and see if they can supply the steel ones that are ready to fit.

Doug.

Nick at northeast classic had those lines painstakingly reproduced, and they very recently became available.

Thank you all. I will figure out what’s best. The original style with the rubber or the solid lines. I tend to think the solid lines would be better.

Remember the body is on rubber mounts to the frame that the distribution block is attached to. There will be movement between the two. If you go steel, there is a reason most vehicles have coils before the master cylinder. It is to allow flex without cracks. A simple hard line will flex a lot and fatigue over time. The coils spread that flex out among all the coils.
