[V8] Brake Hose does it matter??

[bob moy]

My car had the G60 conversion done before I got it.  There is a small hard 
line from the caliper to a bracket and then the flexible brake hose.  I have 
purchased radiator hose, ignition coil, and ps hose from Bruce before.  I 
was hoping to find something locally.  Since the 5000 came with G60 I was 
hoping that maybe this will work, since I can get it locally.

Thanks for all your help
Bob
