brake lines .... are braided steel worth it here?

[Skoti]

Here's the Goodrich fitting that goes in the mudguard wire loop and grommet.

This is similar to what I used to keep the original caliper hard line.

Hi, Skoti.

Thanks for that, but I’m talking about the mudguard wire loop that holds the rubber grommet on the original hard lines.

[Skoti]

Sorry,

my heads a bit fuzzled, too much bier last night...

I would probably chop a wire loop from an old mudguard and attached a small bracket to it, then drill and fit to the mudguard brace with a couple of nice 4mm original Honda JIS set screws.

It'll be interesting to read what others do tho.

Good luck

Unfortunately using the original won’t work as it’s ‘handed’. But yes, interesting to learn what other do.

Looks like a full set of hoses for my F2, front and rear come to £132 with VAT.

Thats in plain black with plain stainless fixings

Hel and Goodridge are pretty much the same pricewise, to within a couple of £££.

Seems expensive, are they standard length and fittings ?

[SumpMagnet]

standard length and fittings....but that's a twin disc front setup with 3 hoses... plus a rear hose and fittings.
I want to keep the stock hose pattern with the single hose down to the joining block...then seperate hoses to the 2 front calipers.

Just dug out the fleabay receipt for my Goodridge stuff.

BG Supplies are a lot cheaper than buying direct from Goodridge, £10.45 for a metre of hose and £5.00 - £10.00 for fittings.

Here's a fleabay link to their stuff:-

Thanks oddjob. Did you reverse bend the wire loop of just use it upside down?
