brake flexi's
Has anyone used standard production car flexi's on their 7 build?
Im using Sierra callipers front and rear.
just wondering if there are any standard off the shelf parts that have the same thread and will be long enough.
Cheers

I had considered doing that but got braded instead, worth the extra and it holds its shape better.

Buy them from rally design, they will make crimped goodridge hoses to any length you like, or you can just buy the screw together euroquip stuff and
make your flexis for about £15

Only if they arent of the correct type.
The manual specifically says that you can use screw togther types, as long as the fitting have an inner support tube and are designed for the
application, which the euroquip stuff is!
I have some spare ends to take to the sva with me, incase there are any queries.

hmm but I think you have to be able to prove that the hose is supported on the inside where its going into the fitting

I used the Rally Design screw together hoses and they passed SVA no problem.

Edited to say: I took a photo of the fittings for proof, but wasn't asked for any evidence.

cool I just didn't want to try it as I'd probably make a balls of it and the hoses would pop out

I am shortly hoping to take delivery of a swaging machine to manufacture braided hoses. Should be able to do a set of 4 for around £40 + p&p. U2U
if it's of interest.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
