Ordering Braided hoses
Turbo Mini Forums

Getting my arse into gear with a few things! seem to have slightly more time for a change!

who wants any braided hoses?

i'm ordering myself a turbo oil feed, identical to the avonbar etc (goodridge braided hose, t-piece etc) but with connections for a renault 5 turbo instead of the T3.

These will be about £50 for the full kit i reckon. quality bit of kit though

I'm also getting a turbo filter. this fits inline with the hose to filter just before the turbo. Quite expensive and can be retrofitted to the goodridge kits. think its £50 but if it prolongs the turbos life or saves it from shrapnel then its worth it!

Any other hoses needed?

The other ones i think people want are the std front mini braided hoses, 2inches longer than std and with M6 x 1 males ends at the calliper end. think these will be in the region of £25 a pair.

Then any other hoses that minispares etc sell at competative prices (definately cheaper postage if nothing else!!)

Let me know, i'm planning on ordering tomorrow afternoon as i want my hose asap so i can get up and running. completely forgot about getting one!!

i dont know how much they are yet, i'm guessing about a week from being ordered they'll be with me since they are custom hoses. so inside 2 weeks i'd say start to finish.

Also looking at braided fuel hose and bulkhead connections rather than grommets :)

yeah prices of the braided fuel hose would be useful for future reference dude. will be using a few metres of the stuff on my new shell eventually.

Are you certain you want M6x1?

All of the calipers I have ever come across are either 3/8" UNF or M10x1.........

Hi,
@ Tom ... I reacon they'll be for the Fiesta conversion?
Cheers,
Gavin :)

My Mini build diary

may be M10 x 1 then! oops! something around there! the lad who does them for me knows! good job really.

can you get goodridge 200 series tubing for fuel lines etc?

Iain, If you could sort me out a set of brake hoses to fit fester calipers on the min; ie. 2 inches longer than std and with M10 x 1 males ends at the calliper end

yep, i'll order a set of fiesta hoses then.

should be able to get all the goodridge hose.

want a price?

they'll be about £25 for the pair i reckon with them being specials. i'll let you know asap. can take cash, cheque or paypal i'll give you the details once i have the price and delivery date.

Why don't you guys doing the Fiasco conversion get hoses with a 90 degree Banjo bend in one end? This way they'll work with both M10 and 3/8 bolts. And, to remove the caliper you don't have to turn it around three hundred times.

I always make my brake hoses like this. It makes them so easy to install without twists etc..

I'll get a picture up....

Not sure mate, same as the other goodridge hoses supplied to mini specialiest. The main advantage i've noticed of these over other places that sell them is the size of the fittings. they are nothing like as bulky and also there are more flexible right up to the fitting. this is a big advantage when trying to squeeze them in at the back of the engine.

The order is in mate, i did say it would be a week or so as its a special.

yep no rush dont worry gotta wait for trigger wheel and stuff before i can put engine in anyway!

cool that the orders in let me know when to pay ya
