HRC Brake Resevoir Tube

Post by jim1351 »

I have fitted a length of the HRC brake resevoir tube to connect my brake resevoir and my front master cylinder, after having it fitted for the last few weeks i have noticed it has been weeping slightly through the tube and leaving a residue of brake fluid around the tube.

Is the tube slightly porous?

Thanks

in other words is it still ok to use to connect the master cyclinder to the resevoir rather than just for the rear brake resevoir?

Thats gotta be asking for trouble, what if it fails 1 day when your braking from a ton+ into a corner! SPLAT!

Id save it for the rear only!

Does any one know where i can get a piece of tube to use instead as the standard one has perished a little and would rather a new one.

We use BGC (http://www.bgcmotorsport.co.uk). They do a great range of brake fittings including res hoses made from a type of ptfe. Well worth giving them a shout as its only a few quid for feet of the stuff.

Does anybody know where I can find, or have any part numbers for HRC bits to fit an RVF?

I already have the rear brake res. but would like extra bits :D

like what?

virtually nothing is available new anymore, the rear res and overflow bottles are because they are a generic part.

Oh yeah sorry, like Air box, engine mods, any suspension tricks/upgrades.
