Front Brake Hoses.

Just had to replace the front flexible brake hoses on the Sherpa. I was on my way home Wednesday evening, when I had to brake sudden for a Wallaby that crossed in front of me, I felt the brakes give way, upon inspection found flexible hose on left front ruptured . Not a good feeling , I was about 8k's away from home, so it was a slow careful trip. Here are some photos of the hoses, I replaced the right hand one as well, it didn't look too healthy either .









Sorry my photos did it again, looks like I will have to see whats going on. Just click on a square .

Glad to hear you and the car survived the situation. It is nice having a standard with a braking problem as you can manage it.
Was it hard getting the hose's?

Just went & raided one of the spare cars for hoses ;D. Will probably look into getting some new ones made up as the replacements are also starting to show their age .
