Stainless Brake Lines...

So I was planning on doing my first brake job today, however When I jacked the car up and pulled the wheels I discovered the brake hoses were on borrowed time which are the only parts I did not buy.

I ordered the Russell 692050 kit to replace both front brake hoses but I gotta ask, WTF is the third hose in the kit for? Also, from what I understand this kit should bolt right in without any modifications correct?

There's the kit I ordered. Going by the part number it should be the right one.

Would help if I even knew the configuration of the rear brake lines...

If you have 2 drums, why do they only give you one line?

Re: Stainless Brake Lines...

copper line a 45 silver soldering is by far the best break lines around, use them on all our monte carlos, camaros, trailers, etc etc, bulletproof
