[FC] brake question

[Ken Hand]

 My first thought is that someone replaced the hoses with to long of aftermarket hoses. There is also a little thing you can do to make sure the hose does not contact the tire. You can put a very small twist(1/16th turn) in the hose so that when the wheels are turned full lock the hose will tend to move away from the tire. 

If the hoses are just to long then the correct length will correct your problem.

Subject: [FC] brake question


I inspected the underside of Rampy while I was working on the alternator issue. 
I noticed that the front brake hoses were getting frayed. Upon inspection I saw 
that the tires ( stock 14 truck tires on original steelies) rubbed the brake 
hose when the wheel was at extreme lock. My question, then, is did Chevy 
originally have wires that held the hose away from the wheels? Right now I am 
temporarily  using nylon zip ties but I am in need of something 
permanent.ThanksTim Werner '61 Rampy 140 4 spd
