Where can I get braided brake hose made up with fittings
here in Scotland?

Have a fitted all new Wilwood calipers and master cylinders from the States.

Hope someone can point me to a shop nearby.

Been to a couple of hydraulic firms but no luck on brake hose and fittings
I am in Lanarkshire.

Maybe Rally or racing enthusiasts would know?

Any phone numbers or web/e-mail address

Hello Willie,

I have the braided hose and I have the new end
Just need to get it replaced

A real VPR.........well that's what Colin told me
remember it as a roadster?

Do you have means of putting on 1 female end ?

If you lads e-mail me I can send a photo of the problem.


All I have is the new brass olive and 1 female nut (bought in the states)
This fits my 90 deg fitting
I already have a goodrich hose with the correct Banjo at one end but need to replace
the other end with this new female nut to give me the correct threads into the elbow

I already had difficulty obtaning a 1/2-20 Banjo and bolt for the Master cylinder
Sent off to ThinkAuto,Goodrich and BSR with no luck on these parts.
Managed to obtain the 1/2 Banjo bolt form a tractor!
Seems Wilwood made an unusual outlet size. 7/16 or 9/16 easy but 1/2" a problem
