Brake Line

[lwinders]

I need to replace the brake line that goes from the rear resivour to the master cylinder. I need to know what kind of hose to use. Also the one that is on there now seems to be preformed to allow for the offset between the resivour and the master cylinder. What have others used in place of the OEM part.

If you are talking the rear brake, I just used a short piece of rubber hose the right diameter, but a SAE size...

I replaced mine with a standard neoprene fuel line. Either 5/16 or 3/8. Don't remember, but the crooked offset wasn't enough to kink the hose. Been on there for 3 years now, no problem.

Thanks for the response. I was hopeing I could just use a standard hose but wasn't sure if I need something special to handle the presure. Thanks again:)

There's no pressure to speak of there...

Now that you mention that there is not pressure at the point, I realize silly my statement was. Of coarse there would not be pressure there.

Well, technically when you release the brake and the fluid floes back into the resovoir there is a very slight positive pressure...
