Hi, they look great. Where did you buy them from. I have one that is leaking and can't get it to seal. The threads are bad. Thanks, Bill

I received the parts in the mail today and they are perfect reproductions:

Plymouth Part#? ?40730? Brake Hose Union - Wagner Lockheed Hydraulic Union:? 7/16-20


This part fits Model 28Q & 29U? ?NOT for 30U

Chet,

Never been to that site - I see in looking around they have glass fuel seperator bowls in two sizes - those are getting very hard to come by - price is not bad either.  I think I will add a link to our Links page to them.

A possible solution to the Wagner Lockheed brake hose union used in the 28-29 and 30-U Plymouth.? Apparently this type of brake system was used in a number of cars of that period.? Some notable models were Duesenberg, Chrysler products up until 1931, Franklyn 28 to 30, Graham early 1935 and 1 ton truck.? Kissel Motor Car Company and others like Auburn, Bugatti, Cord, and Mercedes.?

After a conversation tonight with an 81 year old gentlemen in Pennsylvania who I was referred to by a member of the Classic Car Club of America.? The gentlemen I spoke with has been in the auto repair business since 1941 and lead me to classicandexotic.com who actually still sell the parts I am looking for.? I need to verify this but this is the best lead I have run across in the past 4 weeks.? By the way.., a very long and very interesting conversation what a wealth of knowledge this 81 year young gentlemen was.?

I will definitely keep you guys posted because I believe this is one of those items that can be a show stopper if you are redoing brakes in a 28/29 Plymouth and you need this particular part to stay original.? The only other option is having a machine shop custom make the item.? Definitely an expensive proposition.

I am not sure what is more fun.., finding the parts or putting them in and getting the old car back to good running condition.

What a rush? from no where man..,? to Ya Baby.!!!!? We are rocking now?.

I purchased new brake hoses from Andy B and the hoses are the correct parts but the fittings that the hose screws into are shot.? This fitting is Called Hose Union part# 40730.? Does anybody know if any variant of these can be purchased off the shelf?? I assume they can because the hose connectors are new, the hose is dated 11/10/2004.? Two numbers listed on the new fittings NS 4404 which seems to be the crimp side of the fitting and 451 stamped on the Hex side. I went to my local industrial pneumatic and hydraulic supplier and he has not seen this type of hose fitting for either gas or fluid.? I talked to Andy B. and he only sells the hose with the proper fittings and doesn?t know where to get the in-line tubing to hose connector.? ?The connector has the tubing male on one side and a flat machine thread on the other.???? It seems to me that if the male is available the female should also be available.? Anyone have any ideas before I go to the machine shop.


Any help would be appreciated.
