Dear Mr. Mayer:#Please forgive the delay in responding to your reques of September 29, 1974, for information on Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake hoses*. A copy of the standard is enclosed, along with a copy of the most recent amendment. To keep abreast of future changes, please refer to the enclosure, 'Where to Obtain Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations.' #Please note that the definition of 'brake hose assembly' excludes assemblies containing used components. Thus an assembly consisting of used renewable or reuseable end fitting and new replacement hose, for example, is not subject to the banding pursuant to S5.2.2(a) through (d) as incorporated in S7.2, whether it is destined for newly-manufactured vehicles or for the replacement market. I hope this answers satisfactority (sic.) the questions asked by Mr. A.W. Oswald in his letter of September 25, 1974.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Acting Chief Counsel;
