• Afternoon All,
  
  As the MT is going in for the Barnett im looking at what else could be done. IIRC braided hose kits we're a bit iffy as the Clutch kit needs a custom to run the whole length and i seem to remember some brake line kits weren't quite long enough either. For my old MT i had the pipes made to order but are there any decent kits available that work without modifying?
  
  Cheers
  
  Nat

• Hi Nat,
  
  I bought Venhill front & rear hose kit for the MT-01 which were fine for length, however I had to go back to them for a custom length when I changed to my current set up but they're good hoses and come with all the correct banjos etc.

• I used the Wezmoto ones from fleabay, iirc £90 for front and back brakes with the standard 3 line setup for the fronts. No problems with the length or the way that they fitted

• Get a custom hose made up....Its easy really.
    Get the banjo crank &^ length right and its simple enough....The banjos can be rotated before you fit them. Wezmoto are cheap but man, I hate those fixed fuckers with twisting and length issues...Ive done a few set ups now. If its OEM, thats one thing. If its an aftermarket "kit"..I tend steer clear these days. I know Goodrich offer coloured banjos and **** but this coating is soon flaking off, once you start warming the brakes up !
    I use Helperformance "build a line"..Not the same colourful array of options but does what it says....
    I just did the clutch hose as it happens... !

• I did have custom lines on the old one as the dealer i used to get serviced at had all the gear and as the clutch line is a mix of hose & pipe he ran one the full length following the guide on the old forum. Have you still got the length handy Tim?

• Not sure how handy it is- I'll have a look as I may have kept the old line....

  hydraulic hoses or hydraulic pistons YMMV

• Just looked at the order details for the clutch hose I fitted a week or so back...
    Reads: custom length - 180cms
    Apparently I opted for straight banjos at both ends.
    I strongly recommend you measure your own though mate.
  
    Hope it helps.....
