That's a new one. Didn't realize water could do that to a hose. Could see where petroleum could swell the rubber and maybe since it couldn't get larger because of the reinforcement around the rubber, it choked off but that's a first for water. How about the back hose?

With all new hoses and cylinders, my '48 super eight stops straight and on a dime. Most people forget the hoses- they are cheap, and readily available at NAPA.

I took the sections of hose to the automotive instructor at our Junior College and he said that he had seen this problem many times and the water mixed with the old brake fluid breaks down the rubber compound. We are going on a driving tour in the morning and I am taking the old hose to have a chemist look at it. We'll see what he has to say. i am replacing all three brake hoses. ($12.99 each from O'Rileys)
