Brake Hose/Line: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The brake tubes are steel. The external surfaces of the two steel brake tubes that go from the HCU to the rear brake hoses are coated with a corrosion-resistant nylon coating.

The flex hoses used at each wheel brake are made of reinforced rubber with fittings at each end. The fitting at each brake caliper is the banjo-type and requires a special banjo bolt and copper washers.
