'73-up brake hoses, caliper bolts?

[MopaR&D]

I'm swapping '73-up big bolt pattern disc brakes into my '70 Duster and I need to know where to find the bolt that connects the brake hose to the caliper. This is the hose I'm about to order: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=2145326

Not all hoses were like that. Check your caliper first to make sure it uses that style and not the threaded hose style.

OK I'm not sure, the caliper just has a threaded hole in it. I'll try to upload a pic here...

The bolt size is a 7/16 banjo bolt and you'll need to get 2 copper washers for each hose. Bolt, washer, brake hose, washer and tighten.

Might want to get a few more washers they make them thinner than in the past. Good luck on your project.

OK good to know... You guys happen to know how much that bolt is supposed to be torqued?

I am sure there is a torque spec but I usually just tighten then down by feel using a wrench. Don't over tighten them because they will snap. When you are bleeding the brakes you will know if they leak because of the pressure.
