Brake hoses

Just a word on brake hoses. My dads m.g. TD (Morris related)suffered from binding rear brakes,after several attempts at adjustment I finally changed the rear hose from the body to the axle. Result,no more hot drums and a smoother pedal. On cutting the old one in half I couldn't imagine how fluid could ever get through it.pressure from the brake line applied the brakes but a grungy mass of decaying rubber prevented it's return.on the outside the hose was fine. A hose swap on my van is my next job. Pip.
