how about get a flexi one made up with your brake lines?

edit: sorry you had already said that

i think a copper one would be fine and also its not going to kill you if it ever did fail

The original is a coiled pipe, probably aluminium and then also a flexi you can see at the top of the pic.



Mine passed with that installed.

Now I only have a HEL Flexi line in a coil connecting the two.

I've been thinking of how to use the or setup but it seems long winded given the position of both cylinders. It still possible though.

Have you a pic of the flexi you've used at all?

Stainless braided hose with two different fittings on the ends.

Create Your Custom Brake Hose

Code: CUSTOM

Options: Fitting 1: Swivel Male 3/8" x 24 UNF , Fitting 1 Angle: Straight , Fitting 2: Swivel Male M10 x 1.00 , Fitting 2 Angle: 20° , Support 1: None , Support 2: None , Colour: Transparent , Ferrules: Black Heatshrink , Length: 600mm
I did a loop in it and losely zip tied itso the loop could expand and contract with the engine. In hindsight I would probably put a 20* angle on both ends for ease of fitment.

I've had a tinker mocking up a copper line but it didn't feel like a proper job. I think a flexi hose is on the cards. Thanks for the info stot. It gives me a good datum to use.

Does anyone have a link to someone who sells the diy hose fittings but doesn't a flat £10 postage?
