The OE Match Bracket for Front or Rear Brake Hose/Line is a premium-quality replacement mounting bracket designed to securely support and correctly position the flexible brake hose and rigid brake line on compatible Porsche models. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, strength and durability, this bracket ensures the brake lines remain securely located, preventing unwanted movement, abrasion and stress during suspension and steering operation.
Fits:

Manufactured from high-quality pressed steel with a durable corrosion-resistant finish, the bracket is engineered to withstand constant vibration, road debris, moisture and temperature changes. Precision-manufactured for direct OE-style installation, it provides accurate positioning of the brake hose and line, helping to maintain the integrity and reliability of the hydraulic braking system. Supplied individually (each), it is suitable for front or rear applications where specified.
What This Product Does:
- Secures the brake hose and brake line in the correct position.
- Prevents excessive movement of hydraulic brake components.
- Reduces stress on flexible brake hoses.
- Helps prevent chafing and abrasion of brake lines.
- Maintains correct routing of the brake system.
- Supports reliable hydraulic brake operation.
- Restores factory-style mounting and fitment.
- Forms an essential part of the vehicle's braking system.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Loose or unsupported brake hoses.
- Excessive movement of brake lines.
- Damaged or corroded mounting bracket.
- Brake hose rubbing against suspension or body components.
- Bent or distorted bracket.
- Missing retaining bracket or fixing.
- Premature wear of flexible brake hoses.
- Rattling noises from unsecured brake lines.
- Visible corrosion around the mounting area.
- MOT or vehicle inspection failure due to insecure brake line mounting.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Brake hose and line brackets are continually exposed to vibration, moisture, road salt and debris. Over time, corrosion, accidental damage or fatigue can weaken the bracket, allowing the brake hose or line to move excessively or become incorrectly routed.
- A damaged or missing bracket can place unnecessary strain on the brake hose, increasing the risk of abrasion, premature wear or hydraulic failure. Unsecured brake lines may also contact suspension or steering components, potentially leading to expensive repairs and compromising braking safety.
- Replacing a worn or damaged brake hose/line bracket restores the correct routing and secure mounting of the brake system. The OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, high-strength corrosion-resistant construction and long-lasting durability, helping maintain the safety, reliability and performance expected from your Porsche.
DOT 4
Having an extremely high boiling point and lower viscosity than required, it meets and greatly exceeds regulatory standards. Also suitable for vehicles with ABS.
Vapour Lock formation
This sort of habit leaves room for the Vapour Lock, the formation of vapour bubbles due to boiling of the brake fluid that replace the normal fluid and are compressed, thereby sending the brake pedal to its fill stoke (spongy pedal). The origin is incident in the porosity of the tubes that make up the braking circuit, which in time draw moisture into the fluid, drastically reducing the boiling point. The result is a reduced braking efficiency.
Brembo Premium Brake Fluid
Brembo Premium brake fluids have a higher boiling point that exceeds the standard, thus offering superior resistance to the Vapour Lock and ensuring braking efficiency even at low temperatures. With high anti-corrosion properties and resistance to oxidation, Brembo brake fluid also allows for long-term unaltered chemical/physical characteristics of the fluid in operating circuit; therefore, preserving its integrity.

Rear Brake Hose
Sold each - 2 required per car
Maintain safe and reliable braking performance with this Rear Brake Hose. This
high-quality flexible brake hose connects the rigid brake line to the rear
wheel brake assembly, allowing brake fluid to flow under pressure while
accommodating suspension and axle movement. Manufactured to OE specifications
from durable, reinforced materials, it delivers dependable hydraulic
performance and long service life.
Fits:
- Porsche 356 1950-55
- Porsche 356A 1955-59

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
