Classic Tube via buybrakes.com aka Truckxl inc. January 20, 2011, 10:15:20 PM Beware...I ordered what was advertised as a 5 piece SS brake line set for my 88 TC and what I received won't even bolt up. One of the front lines has a male/banjo & the other is a female/banjo. The rear caliper lines don't have the bracket to attach to the axle & there is no body to axle flex hose.They are telling me they don't have anything to model the body to axle flex hose after & the "5 piece" is a misprint.I'm trying to return it...I'll let you know how it goes.After seeing this I thought they had there act together...http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?10631-SS-rear-brake-hoses!&highlight=classic+%2B+tubeApparently not... Beware. Quote Selected
Classic Tube via buybrakes.com aka Truckxl inc. Reply #1 – January 23, 2011, 10:06:41 PM Well - I received an email with a postage paid return label from buybrakes.com aka Truckxl inc. I'm still not impressed with what I received from classic tube, 4 hoses in a 5 piece kit & the fitting issue was a bit much. I will admit the craftsmanship looked good though. If the return goes well I'll change it to a + for buybreaks.com...There customer service rep is doing a good job. Quote Selected

Classic Tube via buybrakes.com aka Truckxl inc. Reply #3 – January 24, 2011, 07:02:10 PM I'll be researching it some more. This was the only complete set I found so far - that's why I ordered it. I have found the front here, the rear there & the body to axle some place else (all stock...not that there is anything wrong with that). I paid more than I wanted to but I thought what the heck...all 5 hoses in one order & braided stainless to boot why not go for it. I wish it would have worked out. I think I saw somewhere where the 94ish cobra hoses will work but I don't know for sure. If anyone knows of a source please let us know. Quote Selected
