Ok i have some black and silver mini's I brought some goodridge hose and it does not fit, the hope fittings on my brakes are 5mm but the hose is 6mm, If I buy a 6mm compression nut / shroud

will it fit into the existing hope 5mm connectors? i.e will the thread be the same and is it only the size of the hole that is larger?
I dont really want to buy 2 new fitting kits at nigh on £50
Cheers
I think but am not sure that you need the banjo and the straight adaptor that screws into the master cylinder as well as the olives and shrouds
I cannot imagine that hope would charge you more than a few £ for them but don't know for sure
Phone Hope?
ah I have the banjo etc etc etc I have the complete hope mono mini's I am just changing the hose from hope to goodridge but the goodridge hose is 1mm larger, so can I just by the larger shroud / collar and will the existing fittings (straigh line and banjos) fit the larger shroud?
You need the 6mm banjo and caliper fitting I think to take the 6 mm shroud - but as I said I am not sure - ask hope
As far as i'm aware Hope use the same braided hose as Goodridge so there shouldn't be a problem, stupid question here, but you have trimmed back the plastic sheath to get the olive on, have you?
errrm no, how much do you have to cut off the sheath? thats fine for the lever end as the goodridge cover will go over that, but on the caliper end wont I have a length of braided hose showing instead of the colour hose?
