hello
got some tech 3 levers that id like to goodridge with a snazy colored hose.
what fitting kit will i need, or what connectors will i need?
does the tech 3 lever use same connectors as the tech 2?
links for said items would be awesome
many thanks

Unless you specifically want to use the Goodridge connectors, your existing Hope ones will work (though new olives will be easier to fit), so all you'd need is the coloured hose. Fittings are the same for Tech 2 and 3.
You need fit kit 102 for the hopes. If you want snazzy coloured brake lines then you will need to buy the fit kits which are best part of £20 an end and then the hose separately. My blue Goodridge hose was about £8 a metre. It's good stuff and on the old mono minis (black and gold ones) it did firm the lever up a bit but don't know if it's still worth it for the new stuff.
Do your tech 3 brakes come with braided hose or Kevlar hose? If Kevlar, you'll need olives and shrouds for each end. If braided, you'll need nothing if you're careful. Hope olives can be reused. Couple of spares just in case wouldn't hurt.
It's well known that hope braided hose is made by Goodridge.
My mistake, after a few years of using a universal shroud, they've gone back to specific ones for each type of hose as Onzadog says(opening them out by the required 0.5mm with a small file or careful drilling is possible if you wish to save money though).
hello my hopes at presenet have the standard black hose
so ill need this
