Fitting Braided Hoses

Recommended Posts

I am in the process of upgrading to Uk spec brakes including braided hoses.

I have purchased a set of Goodridge hoses but when I tried to fit the rear ones tonight the plain end section on the fixed pipes nut appears to be too big to fit into the new hose.

 

Has anyone else had this problem and if so is it feasible to file (very gently) the non threaded part to get it to fit.

Any help will be much appreciated. Dave.

Yes it is a tight fit but it does actually fit. You just have to take your time

Thanks for that very quick reply.

 

By the way I would like to take this opprtunity to thank you for the excellent service you provide on parts. I've recently ordered Fluidyne radiator and a set of coil pack connectors both of which arrived in less than 3 days.

 

Cheers Dave.

oh dave just some advice if youve never done it before make sure that they are routed correctly, as i had a bad experience with a fool who didnt route them right and they were rubbing against the lip of my wheel, and eventually the wheel cut through the hose - NOT GOOD!
