Does anybody remember what flexible hoses will fit a locost haynes roadster with sierra running gear. Cheers Andy S.

If the chassis is as per the book'sdesign:

Front :
- straight male M 10x1,00 (caliper side)
- 450mm long
- straight male M10x1,00 bulkhead fitting (chassis side) + lock nut

Rear : depends if you have disc or drum set up, and where the brake line bracket CP23 is welded on the chassis (mine is under RS7/RS7a unlike the books design where it is on the back side of RS14).
Anyway, an M10x1.00 male fittings will fit both drum and caliper. After you'll have to measure the length you need. Then a straight male M10x1,00 bulkhead fitting on the chassis side + lock nut.

I wrote this page about the drum set up on a Haynes years ago, at that time I could supply custom made brake lines (and I did quite a lot) but no longer can.
But it can give you informations you need

Hope that will help
