Hey guys,

I have mounted remote reservoirs for my brake set-up, can anyone advise me of what type of hose to use from the reservoir to the mastercylinder? Size must be 5/16.

Many thanks.

Not heater hose, I expect fuel hose (low pressure) will do the job. The reservoir to mastercylinder is low pressure, so it's just a matter of finding a hose whose material doesn't dissolve in brake fluid.

So you think Fuel hose will be ok? I thought this would be ok also (it can handle AVGAS!) Some people seem to think it will perish though?

One place quoted me some fancy Hose at $40 per metre! I only need 2 metres all together, but still, that's bloody expensive!

"Don't use normal fuel hose......it sweats"

This is true.....however you should be OK using EFI hose because it is designed to take a higher pressure. I have the stuff running inside the cabin in my rally car and it does not sweat, even with a good dose of race fuels.

Buy EFI fuel hose and it will do the job.
