Custom Brake Hose Questions

[mr.smartass]

Who makes them? Preferably a CK5 vendor, I think BWP does, anyone else?

Any idea on how much they cost? I need all 5 hoses, for the front and the ones for my disk swap on the rear.

Any idea on lengths? The axles I'm swapping in are from a '73 K20, and they're going on my '89 K5 with a 4" lift.

My calipers are also from a '73 K20, so the banjos will be 7/16's instead of the 10mm which is stock for the Blazer correct?

The hard lines on the trucks stayed the same through the years at 3/16's correct?

If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated... just wanna get this thing rolling.

I had a local shop make mine. $90 a pair for SS braided and DOT approved.

Might go that route, but I was kinda looking for some nice bling stainless steel braided hoses, and I don't think anyone around here does that type of work...

I bought some custom stuff from inlinetube.com several years back including banjos, lines, and parking brake cables. They weren't the cheapest but they even sent me drawings of the cables to make sure they were correct, and made them a custom 6 inches longer for my additional suspension travel.
I don't remember the cost though.

BWP is on hiatus so if you want the lines they were offering you can get them direct from Crown Performance. Let me know if you are interested I've already made contact and am dealing with a SUPER guy there. I'll give you his direct line.

Here's the link from the vendor's forum where Shane explains the product

I think it was cbbr who suggested to me to go local which I looked into. Truth be told the price was the same and the product was not quite as trick. And the customer service at Crown has already impressed me so I'm going that route.

Infact I'm probably ordering tomorrow.

Another vote for Crown Performance. I'm running them on my K5 and a friends '02 2500HD. They've been on for 2 yrs and nothing even close to an issue yet. I bought them off a guy on pirate before we had a vendor here. He was a direct employee for Crown. EXCELLENT customer service for both transactions. Add the fact that you can customize the color and your bling factor just went up 3x.

I got mine from Summit. They are from skyjacker, and they are beautiful...

Ended up ordering mine from Afcoracing.com.
