Flexline Kit 65-82 Vette Rear

The Wilwood Flexline Kit 65-82 Vette Rear is a DOT-approved brake hose assembly engineered for 1965–1982 Chevrolet Corvette rear brake systems. This kit delivers a critical upgrade path for classic Corvette owners upgrading to modern brake hardware or restoring brake lines to OEM specification. The braided stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard rubber hoses, particularly important for vintage vehicles exposed to road salt or stored in high-humidity environments.

The kit features a 10.5-inch line length with 3 AN (dash-three) hose sizing, terminating in a 3/8-24 inverted flare male 90-degree inlet on the master cylinder or proportioning valve side and a 3 AN straight outlet at the rear caliper. All fittings are included, eliminating the need for separate hardware sourcing. The inverted flare connection geometry provides reliable, vibration-resistant sealing under the pressure cycles of repeated braking. DOT approval confirms this assembly meets federal safety standards for brake system components.

This is the rear-circuit hose, making it essential for builds combining modern calipers with period-correct or modernized proportioning systems. Corvette enthusiasts performing brake system restorations, upgrading from original single-circuit systems to dual-circuit configurations, or installing contemporary brake performance hardware will find this kit reduces assembly complexity and ensures pressure-rated integrity. The stainless braid retains flexibility for routing through tight engine compartment and frame paths while resisting abrasion and environmental degradation.

Wilwood's Flexline hose kits remain industry standard for classic muscle car and sports car restoration where OEM hose specifications are unavailable or inadequate for upgraded brake systems. Fitment is specific to the 1965–1982 C2/C3 Corvette platform; verify your model year and brake configuration before ordering to ensure compatibility with your proportioning valve and caliper inlet/outlet orientation.
