Brake Hose Length & Connectors

[Alexjfinch]

Morning Chaps,

I'm possibly having some brake hoses made up if they don't do a kit. Does anyone know the length and connector type that is currently on the car?

For what brake pipe ?
Them all ?

Hose between the caliper and the lines on the car - Rubber part that you replace with braided lines.

Front and rear - just if someone knows off the top of their head so I don't have to get it up on a ramp to measure them.

I would get the OE Reno. ones, they are braided as well.

I'm sure OE renault ones are just fibre braided under the rubber? In any case stainless braid over teflon (as in Goodridge etc) is far superior and expands less under pressure, hence why its used in competition vehicles.

Why bother getting them made up? Kits are available off the shelf.

Yes, they are not stainless but they are adequate for road use.

Just to make a point of this, all brake rubber hose has fibre braid. This does expand when the fluid is hot or you welly the brakes.

Stainless braided hoses are different as the braid covers a teflon liner. These will not expand and therefore reduce sponginess.

I would accept that OE hoses are perfectly adequate for the road. But then so is 100bhp!
