philb Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Do any of you learned folk know the correct length of the front brake hoses? I'm about to replace mine and I noticed the offside one had been rubbed by the tyre - only on full lock as far as I can tell. It's 490mm between the ends of the ferrules (easier than measuring the cone to cone length) and I can't work out whether to made the new one shorter, longer or the same length. The nearside one is 465mm between the ends of the ferrules. By the way, the existing hoses (and the only replacement types I've found - to SAE J 1402) are 27mm OD ( = don't like bending too tight) and have a specified minimum bend radius of 140mm. That just doesn't work out on the Matador. Any advice? Thanks, in anticipation, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
