Rear Brake Flex Hose

[Thomas]

I need to replace the rear brake flex line in my 69 Camaro.

This is on an unrestored low mileage driver.

Is there someone who sells one which is more correct than the others?

Thank you in advance.

About 12 years ago I decided to replace the original on my former low mileage 69 Chevelle convertible. At that time, none of the restoration parts vendors were selling anything being promoted as an exact reproduction, so I just ended up getting one from my local NAPA store.

Get the AC Delco type at Rock Auto, that's what i did.

One problem is the DOT regulations have changed since the 1960's early 70's to mandate the double crimp on the end pieces, so nobody can legally sell a new part with the original single crimps. Even finding an NOS single crimp version would mean that you are installing a part that is perhaps 50 years old. Rubber ages even sitting in a box on a shelf. Kind of risky IMOfor a brake part.
