[Healeys] Brake hose clamp

[David Nock BCS]

Simply shove a piece of vacuum hose over the end of the brake hose and then stick a small bolt in the other end of the vacuum hose. NO LEAKS.

Simon,

 

A grease fitting cap like the link below pops right over the flared end of the steel brake line with NO leaks in or out.  Actually any leaks will be out since the reservoir tank is higher than the brake caliper.

I shall be replacing the front RHS wheel bearings on my MkII BT7 soon.

I have Goodridge brake hoses, by which I mean hoses with a stainless steel woven/braided outer layer.

 

Now, I am thinking of getting some form of clamp to minimize the drips and ingress of air.

Do these things work on braided hoses?

It seems to me that, were the clamp strong enough to squish the hose flat, it would deform the braiding and the hose would never recover?????

 

Maybe better to plug the hose with a sharp bit of wood and bleed the system afterwards??

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks,

Simon
