Title: Clear tubing for brake reservoir to master cylinder?
Post by: eightonezero on July 13, 2007, 10:20:18 AM
Where can I get the clear tubing to go between the master cylinder and the brake reservoir?
Thanks

Most of my local (Eastern NC) "kart" guys have small engine shops.  They carry all sizes and colors of line to use.

Just a thought..   :thumb:

Havent called Lithium yet, but I'm assuming what they sell is similar to the stuff yoyodyne carries? I see yoyodyne has a minimum order amount hmm

I believe Rob sourced mine from Fred... but it all came from Rob (along with the pads, fluid and everything else I ordered)

thanks. If I get the clear tube, I'm going to put some sea monkeys in there so I can see them swim back and forth to the master cylinder

Home Depot
Lowes
True Value...

Just be careful monkeys don't through a wrench in your brakes...

Not just any clear tube from a hardware store will work. Make sure you get some brake fluid specific hose. I picked some up from lithium and it worked great. If you get a hose from a hardware store it will sweat and you my get brae fad. I hope that helps

Speaking of tubing, what is "crush."  I was told the black tubing (specifically 8mm which is on my bike now) can be clamped down to 6mm with hose clamps. I was told this is a better setup than the clear tubes, because the clear tubes don't "crush" as well?

Crush is like stretch, only backwards.
