Carry pressurized brake fluid from the steel line to the wheel with the Dorman - First Stop Brake Hydraulic Hose (H27301), a flexible EPDM rubber hose built to a position-specific fit for the listed applications — including the 1955-1970 Volkswagen Transporter, 1965-1966 Volkswagen Beetle, 1973-1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL, 1975-1978 Toyota Pickup and 1977-1982 Porsche 924 (engine: All). It flexes with suspension and steering movement while routing fluid under pressure to the caliper or wheel cylinder.
Over time a rubber brake hose can crack, bulge, or leak, producing a soft or spongy pedal or visible fluid seepage — signs this hose may need replacing. If a failed hose is the cause, this replaces it as part of a complete brake repair. A gasket or seal, mounting hardware, bracket, and jacket are not included. Country of origin: China.
