Front flexible brake hoses
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2015 9:39 pm
Hi good BX people,
I have been sharing my story about getting my great BX16V back on the road - done a couple of thousand miles now and enjoying every minute. My mechanic (all I can do is drive - I can't fix...) tells me that my front flexi brake hoses urgently need to be replaced - but he says that he has been unable to source any. I went on e bay and quickly found some new boxed parts - used the e bay car check system (my car reg number) and the computer said that the parts would fit my car - but when my mechanic went to fit them they were not right and could not be used.
Can anyone help me to buy or locate the correct parts please - my car is G441AKX - a 1990 phase 2 16v - all bog standard but in great condition (I have owned it since 1995 and it has always been professionally maintained). I am happy to get some uprated braided hoses made if that is the only way forward - again if you could help me to specify what I need that would be a big help.
If you have some new ones for sale just let me know and name your price - I will buy them !
Thank you,
Pete
