Needed to order custom hydraulic hose for my clutch so find what appears to be a reputable seller of HEL stainless braided hoses and put in a request
for what I needed, here is the conversation;
ME: Please can I have a price for a custom hydraulic clutch hose. Overall length is 1100mm with one end straight male 3/8” UNF (obp 0.75 master
cylinder) and other end banjo to suit M10 FTE cylinder as per photo (on BMW M52TU25 engine). Thanks
SELLER: Hi price will be £30 plus postage, that end m10x1?
ME: Yes, M10x1, what is the postage cost and your paypal email address and ill get payment to you.
SELLER: Hi click buy it now on this advert, ive just changed the price to £30 for you
ME: Done, thanks
SELLER: Ok so a 3/8 male screw in and a m10x1 male screw in, around 1100mm long?
ME: 3/8 UNF straight male to M10x1 (banjo connection) 1100mm long
SELLER: I did straight males on both end, male screw in is better than a banjo and a bolt fitting, messing with copper washers
ME: Straight end wont fit at clutch cylinder, need banjo
No reply from the seller yet Aaarrrggggghhh!
On this occasion the answer is yes.
Pretty sure rally design and Burton power make swaged hoses.
But look on the bright side it could be worse , I once called a company to paint my porch green, imagine my surprise when I came home to see my 911
had been painted!!!

Took me a minute to get that, made me smile - thank you :-)
Wish I had asked on here for custom hose recommendations, hopefully seller will sort it out and make me the hose I asked for.
That joke is so old it predates any reference to Mrs Slocombe's pussy.

+1 For Furore products. Helped me with my Rover V8 Clutch Master cylinder to slave hose. Which is a very random collection of connections.
What's more with Furore Products you can "build your own hose" on screen, I believe yours would be £19.45 + P & P, if you can
cancel the existing order I would suggest have a word with Oliver 07905 879407 or info@furoreproducts.co.uk

The banjo fitting won't have a thread so no idea why he needed to know that but as people have said I can make the hose your after.
so 1x 1100mm 3/8 male swivel ---> 10mm banjo comse to £19.45 + P+P through the website, if you message me here with an email address I can send you
a direct payment link (means I avoid a few fees) and I can do the hose for £18 + P+P.
P+P is up to you depending on urgency:
2nd class - £2.95
1st class - £4.95
special delivery - £9.95
Copper washers are included with the banjo fitting, banjo bolts are £1.50 for single and £2.50 for doubles should you need a new one for the banjo
fitting.
All I would need to check is that the length is from the end of the male union to the centre of the banjo eye and get you to pick a colour for the
line, you can see what colours I have Here
Message me if you would like to know more or purchase the hose
Regards

Yup - when I was a nipper we had 3 channels (and no remote control). I even remember Channel 4 starting although we couldn't tune in to it.

I can remember BBC2 starting. God I'm old!
Even the 2 channels weren't on all day.
I remember the national anthem at the end of the night.
We also had "Late Call" on the local independent TV (Grampian) at the closedown, that became famous as last call by Rikki Fulton.

Right, ordered my rear brake hoses from a ‘different supplier’ (who won’t be named unless they don’t sort this s#!t out quickly without putting me out
my way).
2 x brake hoses 475mm long, straight swivel male 10x1mm for the caliper and straight M10x1mm male bulkhead on the other end. Just received them and
there both have FIXED (not swivel) bulkhead connectors on both ends. Why me?
Phoned them up and they want me to post them back and they will make up the correct ones. I questioned why I should pay for postage and they asked me
to photograph the postage receipt and they will refund postage. THIS IS BOLLOCKS, I’M GOING AWAY FOR A LONG WEEKEND AND WON’T BE ABLE TO POST THESE
UNTIL TUESDAY.
Rant over, thank you for listening - I’m feeling a bit better.
Hi Craig.
I have asked you to send them back to me and i'll refund your postage yes as the fault was mine, I have apologised and am sorting the issue.
I am posting your new hoses today and they will be with you tomorrow, sort the return hoses when ever you can and i'll refund you when its sorted
but you will have the correct hoses tomorrow before 1pm
I am again sorry for the mess up, entirely my fault.
Thank you for not putting my name in your post but the fault is mine and I will take the responsibility regardless
Thank you for your custom

Oliver, never named you as you were very helpful.
Will get the hoses in the post to you asap.
Given this thread, you will understand my frustration.
No hard feelings and thanks for sorting out promptly.
Cheers
Craig
No problem and thank you but I'm big enough to claim when I made a mistake and will do all I can to fix it with as much ease and speed as I
can.
Unfortunately mistakes do happen from time to time and as you say it is perfectly reasonable for your frustration given what has happened.
If your away for the weekend then post them when you get back, just remember to get proof of postage when you do as that will have the price of the
postage on for me to refund, 2nd class large letter should be fine.
I hope the hoses work for what you need, let me know if you require anything else

Bravo Oliver for putting your hand up. You'll be getting my order for some braided hoses later this winter.
