Hello,

I'm having trouble finding a brake hose to suit my calliper.

Tried minispares etc. but I couldn't find the correct hose as mine has two female ends.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be pretty grateful.

thats proper aeroquip. cant buy it like that in kit form. you have to buy lengths of aeroquip line and the unions and the 'oilves' and make it your self. its also done wrong, as there is no way to do it up without twisting it, which is bad news.

i would bin that system and fit the goodridge 'aeroquip' kits you can get.

i agree i'd get the goodridge kit

Cheers dodger

I messed up the hose due to my ball joints snapping, bad times!

So I'm going to have to make up my own line with the goodridge aeroquip bits?

Is it easily done?

Sorry for the silly questions.

Jack.

its not your fault the hoses kinked, they were not made properly, you could have undone the locking end at the subframe so it could spin and not kink, but oh well! they need refreshing every now and then :)

are you running normal copper (actually kunifer) brake lines from the subframe to the master cylinder or servo?

if so, http://www.minisport.../info_CK2F.html they should work :)

Yeah there standard copper hoses, I had a look at those lines on minisport but they don't seem to have the two female connections as they are on mine.
