F15A brake lines
This subject has come up before, but I decided to post my findings here for your instruction and entertainment.
Please let me know how this compares with your findings for both Ford and Chevrolet. |

First I had a close look at the maintenance manual and spare parts list:
“Old location” (fig. 1): Rear: metal brake line (p/n 91A-2269) running from master brake cylinder (p/n 91T-2140) to rear of chassis, flexible hose (p/n *C01Q-2078) from chassis to rear axle, metal brake lines (p/n 91A-2269) run from connector (p/n 01T-2074-A) to rear wheel brake cylinders (p/n (C) 91T-2261). Note the flexible hose is fitted to chassis bracket (p/n 01T-2073) with the use of a clip (p/n 78-2814-A). Front: metal brake lines (p/n 91A-2269) running from master brake cylinder (p/n 91T-2140) along left and right frame channels above front axle, flexible hose (p/n *C01Q-2079) from chassis to front wheel brake cylinders (p/n C91T-2261). I suspect this setup was taken over from the 2-wheel drive F15 to the 4-wheel drive F15A, and later relocated to the setup described below as it better suits a front drive axle. Attachment 115988 |

“New location” (fig. 2):
Rear: metal brake line (p/n *C011QF-2265, length 87-13/16”) running from master brake cylinder to rear of chassis, flexible hose (p/n *C01Q-2078) from chassis to rear axle, metal brake lines (right: p/n *C01Q-2267, length 46-7/16”; left: -2268, length 19-11/16”) run from connector (p/n 01T-2074-A) to rear wheel brake cylinders. Note the flexible hose is fitted to chassis bracket (p/n 01T-2073) with the use of a clip (p/n 78-2814-A). Front: metal brake line (p/n 2234) running from master brake cylinder to front of chassis above front axle, flexible hose (p/n *C01Q-2079) from chassis to front axle, metal brake lines (right: p/n *C01QF-2263, length 54-3/8”; left: -2264, length 73-1/2”) run from connector to axle bracket (p/n *C11QF-2083). Flexible brake hose (p/n *C011D-2079-A, length 12-1/4”) connects to wheel brake cylinders. Note the flexible hose is fitted to axle bracket with the use of a clip (p/n 2814). Attachment 115986 |

Secondly, I compared it with the setup on my F15A (built January 1943) which confirms to the configuration shown in fig.2:
Master brake cylinder with two brake lines: Attachment 115979 Rear axle flexible brake hose: Attachment 115980 Front chassis-to-axle brake hose: Attachment 115983 Left hand front axle brake hose: Attachment 115982 Brake hoses removed and measured up: Attachment 115981 |
Brakes
My 1942 FGT is the same as your F15A (apart from the booster) while the 1942 F15 has lines to each front brake cylinder.
|
My F15A has the same configuration as the one in figure 2 (without the booster ) and has 1942 marked under the hood/bonnet .

Can tell me the correct length? Is the same for F60 Laat? Thanks in advance! |
F15A brake lines and hoses
I have recently made a full set of brake pipes for our F 15A. The parcel Contaning the brake Kits and Hoses was sent to the wrong adress (my home).
In 2 weeks I will have a week on the Blitz at Cootamindra. I intend to remove all the new pipes and fittings for cleaning, at the same time I will be making a second set for Tony Elliot's F60 which should be the same except for the pipe to the rear axle. I will make notes and report here on my return. |

See the last picture in my posting above (and attached below here again) for dimensions. Yes, they are the same for all Ford CMPs. Attachment 115984 |

Mariano,
There is a company from Argentina on ebay which sell brands new hoses for many vintage vehicles: https://www.ebay.com/str/LNF-BRAKES I think this set would fit an F15A: https://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-TRUCK-...7/362626618238 This would solve your problem of not being able to buy from abroad at the moment.

Thank you Hanno for the Link. I found this manufacturer and send a question about the hoses.
Regards! |
The pipes are 1/4 diameter? Now i have cooper lines...
