Brake Hose Question

I've got a question about Roadster brake lines. I looked at what I could find on this site, but didn't find the answers I needed. It's been too long since I replaced the lines on my original Roadster, so I can't remember from that, either.

Are all three flexible brake hoses the same other than maybe length? Or are the threaded fittings different front-rear? Or are all of them exactly the same? If it makes any difference, I've got a 67.5 1600.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm replacing the rotted, nasty, totally useless mostly-rubber-covered pieces of shi...er....I mean..."ones" with stainless steel braided lines for non-DOT use and when I checked at a couple of local dealerships, they couldn't find the number, and both claimed they didn't even have a competition book for our babies.

I can get the hoses made to order locally, and if they're all the same then I can just take one in as a template and get all three made at the same time.

The number on the competition parts page here didn't come up on the dealers' computers, so maybe the factory stuff is NLA. Or maybe they just don't want to look anything up. Who knows??

By the way, what thread are the ends, anyway?

I purchased a complete set, which was adaptors and lines, thru pegasus racing.
Mark Sedlack gave me the part number set to order. I'll try to find it but I would suggest asking him direct.
He is on the list, and I think his site is chevypowereddatsuns.com

All 3 are the same size. Got mine from Dean.

Dean has a great set, $120 for all three if I remember correctly.

The threads are 3/8-24

Most of the info is in the brakes section on the main website including what you need for stainless steel lines. Here is a direct link.

There is also a search function on the main website for locating information. I have used it many times before myself and it works pretty well. You can get to it here--

Stainless steel brake hoses were/are available through your local Nissan dealer from their Motorsports catalog. The hoses are said to meet all D.O.T. brake standards.

The part number for a kit for a roadster is 46200-22050 and the suggested retail price is $86. Seems to be a fair price.
