V1 Brake hose for reservoir to master cylinder

[D&dgoblin69]

Got a late model brake reservoir to master cylinder. Wasn’t looking for nothing to fancy just rubber hose. Is it 1/8 internal hose? Any links?

Brake fluid will eat through standard rubber automotive hose. It can also put rubber debris into your brake master cylinder, which will gum things up. You need to use PTFE/nylon lined hose to prevent this. Same for your clutch hydraulic line if you have one.

I think I used high pressure fuel line for mine, but I can't remember. Now you got me thinkin. I tried looking thru the old videos, but I can't find the part where they add the brake/clutch fluid reservoir. I imagine high pressure fuel line is a bit better than standard rubber, but maybe that's worth switching over this winter when I install the line lock.

I think DF intended to use some of the same nylon tubing that was included for running to the vac booster. But there were a lot of issues with it leaking. I used pre-made oil/brake lines so leaks weren't a problem. Didn't cost much from either ebay or amazon.

Some version of this, but I don't remember the exact length or fitting ends that I used. And it may have even been -3an instead of -4.

The line that @Mahkoi listed should work with DF supplied fittings for the master cylinder connections - slip on with a band clamp.

I found a cheap solution. Going on 5 years now.
