Flexi / Braded brake hose replace

pol · Post by **pol** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 1:34 pm

Hello 480'ers!

I've jsut been mot'ing (passed after changing my brake pads and sorting out a loose hub nut)....

I noticed I could do with replacing the rear flexible brake hoses that lead from the calipers. It wasn't picked up on the mot but there are signs of perishing.

Has anyone replaced these? Are they a standard auto factor part or dealer only? Can anyone suggest a braded hose replacement?

Thanks,

pol

The book says non ABS version but there shouldn't be a difference should there? Unless this is due to the higher pressure it runs at?

Tenner a side? That sounds fine to me.
