brake hose and line fitting sizes
Hi, I wish to overhaul my brakes as I have not touched them in ten years, its a 1988 v6 car with disc/drums 3 hose setup.
Basically I need to know what fittings for the calipers, hose ends front and back , and hard lines at the back from t and drum ends so I can buy all the parts and make it all up.

Re: brake hose and line fitting sizes
Ok tons of searching I've come up so far with this, so far can not find all measurements in one place.
Front calliper 10mm banjo with m10x1.5 bolt
Front hose 19" to hardline 10x1
Hardline 6mm fr to bk . Ft 14x1.5 bk 12x1
Rear hose 12x1 to two 10x1 11" long
Rear hardline 4.75mm 10x1 to 10x1
Sound ok ? Need front calliper hose and bolt specs ? Edit think I've got this
Rear hose length needed now. Does anyone agree/disagree with the listed sizes
Any help appreciated ! Thanks.

Re: brake hose and line fitting sizes
Edited, think I have everything now. I am using the car so did not want to take everything apart to get measurements.
I found front hoses from a Toyota the same as the firebird but 1/2 the price.
I have bought a t piece for the rear axle and a m12 to m10 reducer meaning I can source a cheaper rear hose , not a specific one, all the parts are cheaper than one firebird rear hose and next time I need one itl be dirt cheap and easy to find.
It will be nice to do all this and new fluid and not have a mushy pedal !
