    I need some help on this one. I decided to change out the front brake hoses on my 67 GT 500. The replacement hoses were sold as 15 3/8" long but were actually just under 15". They are not long enough. Since I've owned the car for 32 years, and don't remember changing the hoses, I believe the ones on there are original and they are just under 15.5". Does anybody know who has the correct lenght? Thanks!!!

    Well, what brand did you get? And was it a local parts store? (might be foriegn made) or buy them from a Mustang parts supplier?

    While we're all looking at this, does anyone have the original Fomoco part number(s), part number, font, size, and print color from the originals?

    I purchased them from Mac's. I have called other places who tell me the ones they have are also under 15".

    I have bought a lot of stuff from Mac's and everything has been very good. I will try to measure my hoses in the morning and post the results.
