Hi guys

What do you all use for front brake hose ?

I'd like to retain originality ideally but don't fancy trusting my life to 40 year old hose. i'm replacing all of the brake pistons and seals with OE but looks like hose is NLA. Do i just go to braided as I normally do ?

I've not decided whether to trust 40 year old pads yet - they look fine but .....

Might even get some of that funny ribena fluid

Cheers Bodie - mine's silver too so should be ok to go with your set up moto_a_propulsion

Still a bit worried about the hose, probably over thinking it

Thanks Ian

I've sent an email - fingers crossed.

Front brake was a mess of corrosion - all renewed with genuine parts - pistons and seals - used the original hose for now.
