Re: 1940 120 brake parts

The brake hoses (3 required) are Raybestos BH4497. The same front and rear wheel cylinders were used on most junior Packards from 1936-1950. The fronts are 1 1/16 and rears 15/16. I've found the following old Wagner numbers--

Front left= FD2754 left rear = FD2863
Front right=FD2755 right rear=FD2864

Since most manufactures have discontinued the above and don't list Packards in their catalogs, substition is necessary. I have recently completed a couple of Packard brake jobs using Raybestos/Napa parts. If I remember correctly the grease seals are CR17145. Suggest you take the old seal to match.

Good luck
