Braided Brake Hoses???

[Semi-C]

Hello all,
Just wondering if anybody out there stocks Braided Brake Hose sets for Mk3/4/5 Transits? Have had a bit of a look about but have so far come across nowt.

Ta very much,
Col.

I bought a pair from someone on this forum, they had been made by Pirtek. The fittings and pipe were the same sort as used for race motorcycles etc and are available from various internet stores, (obvious caveat, if you're not sure how to make them, then find someone who does). It wouldn't be too difficult to copy the original then.

Thanks for your reply pedracer, reckon I better get busy making then..

I got a set for my mk3 County but I'd bet they fit other Transits. If you have 10mm unions then a Land Rover Discovery kit will do, the set I got were for an early non-ABS Discovery and came as a set of five hoses. Four for the front (Land Rover use two lines to the caliper not one) and one for the rear. I think you can get a three hose kit as well but you will have to check the fitment. The front ones fitted perfectly, although they are a little longer than the Ford items. The rear one had to be fitted using a 10mm tee and a 10mm female joiner as the Mk3 rear hose has the tee as an integral part. A pic of the installation on my van at the rear:



Fronts are really easy and fit in minutes:

eugene speed //////when you bought the discovery hose kit did it come with banjos on the fronts or did you bolt them in usung a 10mm male to male joiner on the caliper as theres not much room just going to order the 5 hose kit to do my mk 5

hi eugine just se en a photo of your calipers they are differant to a mk5 where the braded hose would go straight to the caliper so the hoses would not work . the back ones would be ok so may get the kit with 3 hoses for the rear might go pertec to get fronts done now
