[FC] brake hose sizes..

[J R Read_HML]

YEP...  The fronts will rub on the sidewalls of the tires on turns until one 
day when all the braking you have will be that big handle on the left of the 
steering wheel.  I've forgotten what the original GM ones were in length - 
but someone here will surely have the specs.
