Brake hoses came this afternoon, 1 x 500mm and 1 x 400mm. These were hard to track down as they were the only ones rated JB1401. I also bought some stainless banjo bolts, two M10 x 1.25 and two M10 x 1. these do away with the need for the two steel pipes.
The 500mm one is a good fit on the bottom, but the hose does have to go under the guard tunnel, which works out well because I was going to make a fork brace/guard mount anyway. I found the banjo just fits on the calliper if two washers are place under the banjo. With only one, the banjo hits against the calliper.
Later on I'll probably machine up a longer banjo bolt and a spacer. The 400mm hose is a bit long for the top hose, but I found if the hose exits the divider on the left and is brought behind the headlight, it's a good fit.
The banjos at either ends of the hoses are on the same plane, the top one is OK if the hose is angled on the divider correctly, but the lower banjo is off a few degrees.
Best part is the price: $Aus16 each for the hoses and $Aus8 for the four bolts.
