Alfa 146 rear brake hoses

[oskiee6]

Can anyone tell me if the rear brake hose's are the same for both sides or are they different i.e Left and Right?

The flexible rubber ones are the same. The rigid metal ones that are pressed to the trailing arm are different.

Thanks. The ones I need are flexi that fix behind the rear axle and have a famale connections at both ends. There are 2 that fit in front of the rear axle one end female one end male, these are easy to get for a few pounds. Do you know where I can purchase the ones I need apart from an Alfa dealer?

I can't remember what the hoses on my old beast look like at the back.. so I can't think of the one you need...

If you mean the one that passes under the trailing arm mount (it connects the metal hose that's attached to the trailing arm to the metal hose that comes from the brake compensator valve) then you should be able to find replacements easily at a motor factor or on eBay.

Look at this one:

If there's another hose and eBay can't turn it up.. then look for anyone who can make hoses (search for Hel or Goodridge). I once had to make a custom hose for my 33 (anyone who had one might remember the long hose under the car). All you need to do is measure the hose length and tell them what fittings you've got and someone will be able to make you a braided steel one for not toooo painful.
