Brake Hose ends

[Tomkreiner]

Troutman hoses are described as steel braided, NOT stainless steel braided, and that's why they need the clear plastic sleeve; to prevent ugly surface rust.

In order to procure the correct hose, however, I need the exact thread description, not just the OD of the hose end. Does anyone know whether the fitting is english or metric? And what the thread might be?

Also, the Earl hoses are available in either 3mm or 4mm ID, which would also need to be known in order to fit the existing hose ends if they must be re-used.

Thanks,

Troutman lines are stainless steel, not regular steel. The plastic sleeve is just for additional protection.
BTW, at warehouse33auto.com with the 10% rennlist discount the set is $87

IMHO, By having hoses made, you are making something that is simple, complicated.

JayG....

Thanks! You're right, making these is a lot of hassle...

How does one go about getting the discount? I'm pretty sure I'm on the rennlist site although I have not logged onto it in some time...

Thanks for the help!
