 |
|
Hay folks,
I am replacing the front master cylinder on my Sport Cup and need mount the reservoir further away than the supply tube that came with the unit will allow. The question is can i use a piece of fuel supply line to replace it? It doesn't seem like it would be a problem to me but I just want to be sure.

tthat would be fine I am sure. just soak the hose in brake fluiid overnight and see if it gets soft, or changes the color of the fluid before you contaminate the system.

DO NOT USE FUEL HOSE FOR BRAKE FLUID.
There's proper hose readily available for brake fluid , for example BMW # 21521163714
used between reservoir & clutch master available by the foot through a bunch
of mailorder & parts jobbers.
