It's not my pic, it's borrowed.
If you can go straight into the wheel cylinder what is the need for the short bit of pipe or banjo? Does it hit the upright and therefore fail iva??
I think im going to buy them off russbost on LB. As I dont fancy making them even if he is quite expensive.

It was just a thought Steve as I made my own,maybe better as suggested previously to mock it up and then get them made to suit.

The bits cost me £60 ish and there were a few spares thrown in.

I made some for the racer I built and they had bulkhead one end and 1/8 NPT straight into the caliper .

hi everyone i just have a question does anyone have a list of all the brake fittings and the length of the flexi braided hoses for rear and front and i want to use disks in the rear and will this list contain the info for which must be female and male fittings.please

Depends on what calipers and where you mount the rears and what position you fit the brackets.
Min of four bulkhead fittings fitted to pipe at each corner at about 450/500mm.

if someone can give me a hose lengths and what ends suit a book car with sierra calipers i can get a group buy setup with hel or goodridge hoses

I can recomend Russ Bost of Furore cars for custom brake hoses, well made at a good price.

I have touched on this before but without an answer. Has anyone had problems with the iva and stainless braided brake hoses? The reason for asking is that i had an mot refusal on a car for not having a bs rated hose. I just took the car somwhere else but have always wondered if the guy had a point. ????????????
