Noob with a new mx5 Saturn build.

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.

[norton]

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

Stainless braided hose with two different fittings on the ends.

Not at the moment but heres what I ordered from HEL, £30.

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.

[norton]

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

[norton]

So I've made up a clutch hose and bled the clutch. It works but it's unpleasantly heavy.





I was looking for a 0.65 cylinder to try but no one makes one.
