van flexi hose

Post by callyspoy »

hi guys, a quick one, are the flexi hoses from the van rear brakes the same as the ones used to convert to marina discs up front, bar the "bracket" obviously. seems a steep difference in price just for the bracket. cheers!

Only one flexi hose at the rear, and the Minor/Marina ones are unique to that usage, so in short, no, they're different.

Rear axle brakes uses very different thread - 3/8" BSF - than anywhere else on the Minor. Dunno about Marina parts - but they may be m10x1 - take care because if so it's very similar to the normal 3/8" UNF - but NOT the same!
