Rear brake line compatible between V70 and C70?

Post by FireFox31 »

Can anyone confirm if a 2000 C70 rear metal brake line will work on a 2000 V70? For the left rear, I see part 8618026 for the C70. The V70 part was apparently 8619127 and is no longer available.

Can anyone post a picture of the C70 left rear metal brake hose which connects to the caliper? Perhaps even estimate its length? That would help me determine if the C70 part will work for my V70. Thanks.

Chris..you can get those lines made up for yours a place like NAPA or a decent auto parts place. Volvo uses a bubble flare, not a single or double flare, so make sure you get the right fitting on the ends .

If you strip out a piece of copper from a piece of home wire, you can bend a template to fit which you can follow to bend the line. Use a can or other round object to radius the bends to prevent kinking
