Are these stainless steel Brake Hoses compatible with my Vanagon, and do I need to modify anything for installation?

Yes! These GoWesty stainless steel Brake Hoses are designed to fit all 1980-1991 Vanagon models—2WD and 4WD, as well as both automatic and manual transmissions. They use properly sized end fittings, so there’s no need to drill or modify your brackets. For 1980-85 models, the hoses are a bit longer, but they can be installed easily with thoughtful routing. Just order two hoses for your vehicle’s front brakes, and you’ll be all set.

What are the advantages of stainless steel Brake Hoses compared to stock rubber ones?

Upgrading to GoWesty’s stainless steel Brake Hoses gives your Vanagon a firmer, more responsive brake pedal feel. Unlike old rubber hoses that can flex and age over time, these stainless lines maintain consistent pressure, which means more confident and reliable braking performance—especially important for heavier vans or when driving with passengers and cargo. Plus, they’re DOT approved and made in the USA, giving you extra peace of mind.

Are these Brake Hoses safe and street legal?

Absolutely. These GoWesty stainless steel Brake Hoses are DOT approved and made right here in the USA, ensuring they meet strict safety standards for street use. Real Vanagon owners consistently report great fit, easy installation, and noticeably improved braking. With a 5-star average rating from actual customers, you can trust these hoses to deliver both safety and performance for your Vanagon’s front brakes.

These premium GoWesty-designed brake lines are designed to replace the old, mushy, and worn-out rubber hoses on your factory original brakes.

These are made in the USA and ”unlike our competition's hoses” are DOT approved and have the correctly sized end fittings so there is no drilling of your brackets required! These lines will provide a firm consistent pedal feel without the 'spongy' sensation you can get with the stock rubber lines. Do your Vanagon a favor and replace those 30+-year-old hoses today!

Fits: All Vanagon models and years (2WD and 4WD), two required per vehicle.

FITMENT NOTE: These lines are sized to fit later model stock 2WD and 4WD Vanagons ('86-'91), but WILL fit '80-'85 models. They will be longer than the stock lines, but with careful positioning can be made to fit with no rubbing or interference issues.

NOT FOR GOWESTY BIGGER BRAKES.

Appears like are much higher quality and should last forever.

Exactly as advertised

I had my original flex hose collapse internally leading to dragging brake pads and heat build up in the rotors. Decided to upgrade to SS instead of stock style rubber hoses. These were quick and easy to install, fit perfectly, and fixed the pad dragging issue.

I feel safer

I had the van jacked up replacing the linkage and said might as well do the breaks. Everything from go westy fit perfectly!!

Looks sexy. Fits great

Got these for the hot looks

Nice

Excelent
