The front brake hose is a flexible hydraulic connection within the braking system. It carries pressurised brake fluid between the rigid brake pipework and the moving front brake assembly while accommodating normal steering and suspension movement.
When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure. This pressure travels through the brake pipes and flexible hoses to operate the wheel brake components. For the system to function correctly, the brake hose must remain securely sealed while resisting expansion under pressure.
Brake hoses deteriorate with age. Repeated flexing, heat, moisture, road contamination and long-term exposure can cause cracking, hardening, swelling or internal deterioration. A hose can also become restricted internally even when its exterior appears relatively serviceable.
Replacing a deteriorated hose with this OE Match 370mm Front Brake Hose helps restore dependable hydraulic pressure transfer and safe operation of the front drum braking system.
What This Product Does:
- Carries pressurised brake fluid to the front brake assembly.
- Provides a flexible connection between rigid hydraulic components.
- Is specified at approximately 370mm in length.
- Is intended for compatible applications with drum brakes.
- Accommodates normal steering movement.
- Accommodates suspension travel.
- Maintains hydraulic pressure during braking.
- Supports correct operation of the front wheel brakes.
- Helps provide consistent brake pedal response.
- Maintains a sealed hydraulic braking circuit.
- Replaces a cracked, leaking, swollen or internally restricted hose.
- Provides an OE Match replacement for compatible Porsche applications.
- Cracks in the hose exterior.
- Perished or deteriorated rubber.
- Hose becoming unusually hard.
- Bulging or swelling.
- Brake fluid leaking from the hose.
- Wetness around the end fittings.
- Corroded hose fittings.
- Damaged threaded connections.
- Abrasion or chafing.
- Exposed hose reinforcement.
- Hose twisted or incorrectly routed.
- Soft or spongy brake pedal.
- Increased brake pedal travel.
- Vehicle pulling during braking.
- Uneven front braking.
- Brake remaining partially applied.
- Wheel brake slow to release.
- Excessive heat from one wheel.
- Brake-fluid level dropping.
- Reduced braking performance.
Why Replacement Matters:
- The flexible brake hose must contain substantial hydraulic pressure whenever the brakes are applied.
- A weakened hose may expand excessively under pressure, reducing the efficiency with which pedal force is transferred to the brakes. More severe deterioration can result in leakage or hose failure.
- Replacing a deteriorated Front Brake Hose helps maintain the integrity of the hydraulic braking system.

Diagram ref no 10
Whether you're carrying out routine brake maintenance or a complete restoration, this OE Match brake hose provides factory-style fitment and reliable braking performance.
What Does the Rear Brake Hose Do?
The rear brake hose forms an essential part of the hydraulic braking system, transferring brake fluid from the fixed brake pipe to the moving rear brake assembly.
Its functions include:
- Carrying hydraulic brake fluid under pressure
- Allowing suspension and axle movement
- Maintaining consistent brake pressure
- Providing safe, reliable braking performance
A flexible brake hose is critical to ensuring full braking efficiency while allowing normal suspension travel.
Why Do Brake Hoses Fail?
Brake hoses are exposed to high hydraulic pressures, road dirt, moisture and constant flexing throughout their service life.
Common causes of failure include:
- Age-related rubber deterioration
- Surface cracking and perishing
- Internal hose collapse
- Corrosion around the end fittings
- Damage from road debris
- Contamination from brake fluid or oil
A deteriorated hose can restrict brake fluid flow or develop leaks, affecting braking performance and safety.
When Should They Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended if the hose shows:
- Cracks or perished rubber
- Fluid leaks
- Corroded end fittings
- Bulging under braking
- Internal restriction causing uneven braking
- Signs of ageing during brake servicing or restoration
As brake hoses naturally deteriorate over time, replacing them as part of a complete brake overhaul is considered good preventative maintenance.
Porsche 356 Brake Hoses & Hydraulic Components
The hydraulic braking system relies on flexible brake hoses to maintain consistent brake pressure while allowing suspension movement. As these hoses age, the rubber gradually hardens and deteriorates, increasing the risk of leaks, restricted fluid flow and reduced braking performance.
Replacing ageing brake hoses is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve braking reliability and safety. OE Match brake hoses are manufactured to OE specifications, offering dependable performance, factory-style fitment and excellent value for routine servicing or concours restorations.
Benefits of Replacing the Rear Brake Hose
- Restores reliable hydraulic brake pressure
- Improves braking consistency
- Prevents leaks caused by ageing hoses
- Accommodates normal suspension movement
- Ideal during brake system refurbishment

OEMatch Brake Hoses & Lines — Stopping Power, Consistent Control
OEMatch supplies brake hoses and lines for Porsche models, combining a broad catalogue and detailed cross-references to support repairs and maintenance. These parts keep the hydraulic system sealed and flexible, helping to preserve pedal feel and consistent braking across classic and modern Porsche vehicles.
Available Types
- Reinforced rubber brake hoses for standard replacement
- Braided stainless steel hoses for increased abrasion resistance and reduced expansion
- Corrosion-resistant steel hard lines and preformed assemblies
- Complete hose kits and fittings for axle- or model-specific repairs
Understanding OEMatch Brake Hoses & Lines
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original brake hoses and lines.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the brake hoses and lines and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM brake hoses and lines engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Brake hoses and lines transmit hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder to calipers and wheel cylinders, allowing suspension movement while maintaining pressure and dependable pedal response.
Benefits Include
- Restores firm pedal feel and reliable braking response
- Prevents fluid leaks and loss of hydraulic pressure
- Improves durability against heat, vibration and corrosion
Why Brake Hoses & Lines Wear and Fail
- Ageing and UV exposure cause rubber hoses to crack, swell or harden
- Corrosion attacks metal lines and fittings, especially in salted environments
- Physical damage from road debris, abrasion or improper routing compromises integrity
- Loose or degraded connections and seals allow seepage and pressure loss
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Brake Hoses & Lines
Brake hoses and lines are safety-critical components. Replacing worn or corroded parts restores hydraulic integrity, reduces the risk of sudden fluid loss and preserves consistent braking across all wheels. Regular inspection and timely renewal limit the chance of a soft pedal, uneven braking or system failure and help maintain the controlled stopping performance expected on Porsche models.
Advantages
- Direct-fit replacements engineered to match original dimensions and tolerances
- Options in both reinforced rubber and braided stainless steel for application-specific needs
- Supplied with appropriate fittings and preformed shapes to simplify installation
