[#2809937]

I'm trying to get an old pair of brakes going... like this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=9479&PartnerID=2812&awc=2698_1306943757_519887809479b6080cda3097c23b9ccc

Anyone know how the hose fits into that banjo connector there? Do you have to buy the hose and connector together?

Cheers Woody, I saw those already... they have every part apart from what I'm wanting! I want to know if the hose comes away from that connector that's attached to the end of it, the banjo I think. I need a longer hose but don't know if I can remove and reuse that connector. I can't find the hose and connector sold as a single unit anywhere.

Clarks do a kit which includes ALL the fittings, including the banjo fittings you need. I got some from CRC.

Cool, now we're talking! The banjo connector on the original shimano hose didn't seem to be removable (it's now in bits!) so I wasn't sure if you had to buy the hose complete with the connector already crimped onto it.

Now I see perfectly. Will order just now. Thanks!
