Correct Braided brake hose size ?
Discussion
Hi,
Querry re my Marcos Mantula rebuild please,
As the pedal assembly is adjustable rather than the seats (quirky but cool !) there is a short section of braided brake hose to connect to each of the brake master cylinders to allow for the pedal assembly movement.
Have just bought a quantity of "Dash 3" size and connectors for this application and also same size for the clutch and on reflection are now wondering if i have bought the correct size, or if there is any advantage to using either a larger or smaller bore, the car i bought in bits so don't have any old tube to use as a reference.
If this helps the car has seperate front and rear cylinders using a balance bar and twin Girling AR5 calipers front, atlas Capri axle drum brakes at rear, and is quite powerfull with a 5.0V8 so brakes are very important to me !!
Regards,
Martyn
