I have bolted my 2wd blazer dual piston up to the car and need to figure out brake hoses. I have read that blazer brake hoses will work with modification to the bracket, some peope say yes and some no to the g body hoses working and I have heard that braided lines work great. so I am thinking that I am just going to pull the trigger on the braided lines, will any standard g body specific braided line work?
2wd blazer dual piston upgrade-need more info on brake hoses please

I used Russell braided gbody specific lines with my blazer brakes setup. I've run them a couple of years with out issues binding or anything.
I also plan on using the Russell braided brake hoses...which I already have. I took the Blazer brake line brackets, which I will also be using.
From what I understand, the G-body hoses might be slightly shorter than the Blazer ones.
I believe you still have to slightly bend or tweak the steel brake lines.

I used the Blazer brackets with light modification and the factory G body brake hoses. These parts work well and look factory stock. If you want, I try to post some pic's of the install. Be careful using braided lines. Luke (83Hurstolds) had issues with them coming loose on his car.
I'm also interested in which hoses will work best. Anubis, what do you mean by Luke's hoses coming loose? Were the hoses coming loose in the brackets, or were the line fittings coming loose in the hoses? I'm looking forward to seeing any photos that you could post of your install. Does anyone have the part number for the Russell braided hoses ? Thanks in advance.
If you use blazer hoses on your gbody you will have to change the flare from the hard line or get an adapter for the gbody hard line size because the blazer hose is a bubble flare and the gbody is inverted flare.
Jeff,
The part # for the Russell braided hoses are 692100. They're indicated street legal. I know there's ones that are indicated "for competition only".
My only concern is that I've had these since 2005. They're 10 yrs old, never installed, and sat in my toolbox for those years
