Davis what year brake set up did you swap in? And how much did the brake hoses cost? I got a setup out of a 79 Concord for the yellow Hornet. I checked on a price for the hoses and I believe they were 40$ a piece a few years ago. Sounds a little inflated to me. Also when I replaced the yellow Hornets rear with one out of a Concord the rear brake hose was not the same. The 79 Concord hose was not available, but the 74 Hornet one was and fit with only a minor modification on the chassis mounting bracket to make up for the differnt mounting of the hose on the Concord rear.
