Subject:Re: brake hoses interchangeable?

The part numbers are the same except for the letter on the end.

80-85 is 251611775A  M10X1,0X400

86-91 is 251611775B  M10X1,0X460

I got the measurements from ETKA, it didn't list a length when I looked
under 85. But under an 87 it listed both part numbers and had the
dimensions. I assume they are in millimeters, the 86+ is 2.36 inches longer.
I haven't set one next to the other to prove this, but it looks like a hose
made for 86+ should fit fine on an 85 and down model, it would just be a
little longer.
