When the brakes were done on mine the 69 fronts are longer for some 
reason. My mechanic used the ones from Clark's and all seems well.

But they finally sent me $5,000 to settle.  That gave me enough to purchase an all original '69 coupe with 58,000 miles on it with enough left over to get the merc fixed as well.

My question is this:  I noticed in the clark's catalogue that they offer 2 different front brake hoses for a '69.  Does it matter which one you use?  I guess both will work, but are there any advantages/disadvantages for either?  I'm not worried about originality.  I'm looking for reliability and dependability first and foremost and therefore the best choice.  Everything else seems straight forward.  This is my first foray into the world of '69's.
