lwinders Posted February 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 13, 2013 I need to replace the brake line that goes from the rear resivour to the master cylinder. I need to know what kind of hose to use. Also the one that is on there now seems to be preformed to allow for the offset between the resivour and the master cylinder. What have others used in place of the OEM part.

bongobobny Posted February 13, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 13, 2013 If you are talking the rear brake, I just used a short piece of rubber hose the right diameter, but a SAE size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldandcrotchety Posted February 13, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 13, 2013 I replaced mine with a standard neoprene fuel line. Either 5/16 or 3/8. Don't remember, but the crooked offset wasn't enough to kink the hose. Been on there for 3 years now, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwinders Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for the response. I was hopeing I could just use a standard hose but wasn't sure if I need something special to handle the presure. Thanks again:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted February 13, 2013 Share #5 Posted February 13, 2013 There's no pressure to speak of there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwinders Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted February 13, 2013 Now that you mention that there is not pressure at the point, I realize silly my statement was. Of coarse there would not be pressure there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted February 13, 2013 Share #7 Posted February 13, 2013 Well, technically when you release the brake and the fluid floes back into the resovoir there is a very slight positive pressure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
