What length Brake Hose

(1/2) > >>

neilma:
Hi all,

I want to replace the existing rubber and copper pipe work and switch on my 400/4 and have a braided steel brake hose running from the master cylinder direct to the caliper.
Has anyone else done this and can remember the length I need to order? Also what fittings would I need to specify (I know its a banjo at the lever end, but at the caliper its a screw in thread - whats that called?)

Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil,

I have this done to my 400 with a standard fitting at the caliper end with a banjo bolt through it? Am running a microswitch for the brake light off the Suzuki master cylinder & lever I am running, will try to get a pic of the caliper today   :)

neilma:
Brilliant ! Thanks very much. Thats exactly what I want to do (but using the std MC so I will use a banjo brake switch instead of your micro switch). So I think all i need to know now is what is the name of the fitting that goes into the caliper (or the thread size etc) ?
Thx

Here you go:



45deg fitting off the hose into the caliper itself, all good!

(Forgot to measure the length...  :-[)
