I should be out in the garage this week. I’ll look for them in earnest.

Re: R-100 front brake hose hardware

Back in 1990, when I did a restoration on My "R" I tried to use all of the OEM. Some was from the truck and some was new. That was 32 years ago and in that time, I would guess that most of original stuff will not be available.
My solution was using modern readily available brake components. This included braided stainless brake hoses.

I would rather have tools I do not need than to need tools I do not have
Thinking risks being controversial and possibly being offensive

Nikki, thank you for your input and information. The links provided gives some good "How To's" on the brake system. I have been able to find the brake hoses, it's the hardware to connect to the hose on the driver side thru the frame, to brakes and master cylinder.
I have brake line and fittings (3/16th and 1/4"). Just need the smaller Banjo Bolt (7/16th x 1/2"). I found a Banjo Bolt at MAC's Auto Parts and just received it today. However it's too big.
It does appear I'll have to use something more modern to make it work.

Re: R-100 front brake hose hardware

You should be able to find a replacement/upgrade. The thing I found frustrating is how brake line size and thread type are shown.

Here is an example of what might work, says for 1/4 line. You want "female" when the threaded end going into the fitting. The end of the brake line is termed "inverted flare" so you want a fitting having the "female inverted flare."

https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Shop-invert ... 400&sr=8-8

This may work for the smaller 1/4" brake lines and then get an adapter brake fitting/reducer that will accept the larger line coming off the master cylinder (female inverted flare) and then screw into the 3-way ("male inverted flare) on the other end of the adapter.

Some of the local autoparts stores like Advance Auto have a selection of adapters, but don't expect them to be of much help as you want to know the correct size because they won't.

Another place to look or contact is Speedway Motors. They specialize in hot rods ad have things like the banjo bolts, copper washers (if needed), adapters, lines, etc.. If you don't see it online, contact them and they can most likely help.

Earl's is also another supplier of brake parts and may be able to help or have what you need.

Much of working on the older Internationals seems to require fabrication or modification to make things work - it's not like a Chevy or Ford truck where many of the parts are available or reproduced.

Re: R-100 front brake hose hardware

I’ve looked through every box of IH parts I have and haven’t found those fittings. I can only assume that I gave them away when I gave away the rear axle and a slew of other parts to a new local owner in need.

Thank you Jim for your input. On the brake lines, I have both 3/16 and 1/4 new lines and ends. This R100 uses both sizes. I just need to flare them correctly and connected to a good fitting, especially the front.
