You need to get your vehicle out of that shop! Call around and find someone that will repair your MH, have it towed if its not drivable.
Google the shops name under complaints, bet there is a bunch. Also do the same with any shop that you anticipate doing business with. good luck.

Hi Brian,

Rockauto.com has the brake hoses you need, from 2 different manufactures. Click on Ford, 1997, F53, brakes. As previously stated, get your MH to a reliable repair shop.

I hope you have taken your MH out of that shop by now ! I had my mechanic replace the front pads, calipers and brake hoses along with repacking the bearings on our F53 chassis last year. He never said he couldn't get new brake hoses and got the job done in one day...

The part number for the Ford hoses is F7TZ-2078-AA. They are no longer in production, but may be available from dealer inventory.
Your local dealership can do a Dealer to Dealer check.
If not available, check the aftermarket.
Do a Google search and you will find many options.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I got the same answer.. can't make up brake hoses.. must be OEM.

[[I USED OEM in too broad a sense.. I meant they had to be factory made not 'Aeroquip" custom made. I asked for my '76 Dodge B600 but NAPA had them]] Yes you can make up sections of steel brake lines.
