19PD33 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi all first post here. I’ve had a 1933 Plymouth PD sedan for a couple of years and just getting around to working on it. It has a brake line leak at the rear brake junction. The original junction and flexibile hose have been replaced with modern parts. The left and right hard lines appear to be original. It appears that it is leaking from each fitting at the junction. Makes me wonder, does the 33 have a different angle on the flare or something? The P.O. was a pretty competent mechanic but he did say the brakes were “never quite right”. I did a quick search for the proper (1933) junction block but couldn’t find any. All help and opinions welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 This doesn't exactly answer your question but maybe you should just replace those two brake lines that might be the originals . You must have tried to tighten them already . Brake lines are cheap . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19PD33 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Are preformed lines available? If I have to make them myself they’re going to look really crude. I’ve done it, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 No preformed lines are available that I know of. All the fittings where tubing attach are standard double flare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19PD33 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I checked around and Classic Tubes offers a brake line kit (front and rear) for “1933 Plymouth, all models”. I’m a little skeptical but they say it was engineered from original lines. I may give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
