I seem to have unfortunately tossed the package of the brake hose I used. As far as the part numbers quoted, I was going by what was listed in ETKA. The 211 611 775 C hose carries the distinction in the remarks column 'left rear' and under the model section 'M249'. For the right rear it lists 311 611 776 also for M249. The 211 611 775 B just says rear next to it and lists 'M263' as the model. M249 is the 3 speed auto and M263 is described as 'equalizer torsion bar', implying a swing axle. I just double checked this with a parts fiche from 1982 and it lists the same info as ETKA. I never relaced the rear hoses on the 73 manual trans square I had, so I can't picture if that was the same as the auto. I'm not trying to confuse, just help out if possible. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
