Prices on Brake hoses
RoadkillUK - 3/12/03 at 05:18 PM

I was shopping for some brake hoses and emailed some potential suppliers.
Thought I'd share the prices with you. I'll edit the 'Non replies' if/when I get them.

I'm looking for a quote for a pair of front brake hoses for my Locost.

The connectors are as follows..
Straight male bulkhead on one end with a straight male convex seat on the
other with a length of 440mm. One end is for the Cortina caliper and the
other is to connect to a 'standard' rigid brake pipe.

Braided hoses
Zinc plated steel fittings £10.50 per line.
Stainless steel fittings £15.75 per line.
Postage £1.75
All prices are subject to vat.

The price per hose will probably be £12 plus VAT providing the fittings are standard but I will confirm it with Goodridge before they make them.

"Thanks for the enquiry, If you can forward the @ Make,Model and
Year of manufacture I will contact Goodridge and they will be able to
advise us of the correct hoses."

Try Rally Design. But you'll have to ring them, I've heard they're not too hot at answering emails.

Got mine from BSR. Very impressed with the service. Pay the extra quid to get the clear covers for the lines - will make cleaning easier when it's all finished!

I've ordered mine from BSR and I have ordered the clear covers, £2 each apparently.

The fittings are the same for the Sierra as they are for 'my' cortina calipers (I know because I thought I'd try original Sierra hoses, too short)
