Braided Hoses

Afternoon All,
As the MT is going in for the Barnett im looking at what else
could be done. IIRC braided hose kits we're a bit iffy as the
Clutch kit needs a custom to run the whole length and i seem to
remember some brake line kits weren't quite long enough either.
For my old MT i had the pipes made to order but are there any
decent kits available that work without modifying?
Cheers
Nat

Hi Nat,
I bought Venhill front & rear hose kit for the MT-01 which were
fine for length, however I had to go back to them for a custom
length when I changed to my current set up but they're good
hoses and come with all the correct banjos etc.

I used the Wezmoto ones from fleabay, iirc £90 for front and
back brakes with the standard 3 line setup for the fronts. No
problems with the length or the way that they fitted

Get a custom hose made up....Its easy really.
Get the banjo crank &^ length right and its simple
enough....The banjos can be rotated before you fit them. Wezmoto
are cheap but man, I hate those fixed fuckers with twisting and
length issues...Ive done a few set ups now. If its OEM, thats
one thing. If its an aftermarket "kit"..I tend steer clear these
days. I know Goodrich offer coloured banjos and shit but this
coating is soon flaking off, once you start warming the brakes
up !
I use Helperformance "build a line"..Not the same colourful
array of options but does what it says....
I just did the clutch hose as it happens... !

I did have custom lines on the old one as the dealer i used to
get serviced at had all the gear and as the clutch line is a mix
of hose & pipe he ran one the full length following the guide on
the old forum. Have you still got the length handy Tim?

Not sure how handy it is- I'll have a look as I may have kept
the old line....

check your local hydraulic service techs, theyll usually do
custom...
hydraulic hoses or hydraulic pistons YMMV

Just looked at the order details for the clutch hose I fitted a
week or so back...
Reads: custom length - 180cms
Apparently I opted for straight banjos at both ends.
I strongly recommend you measure your own though mate.
Hope it helps.....
