Bespoke braided brake pipes

[buddy]

Hey all.
Has anyone ever had a brake pipe custom ordered before?
1 length of pipe with m10 banjos either end is 22 quid

1 hose specific for my xj600 is about 60 quid.... stupidly expensive when you consider a brand name whole set for my car was about 60 quid.

What are opinions on these made to order pipes?

Depends what it's made of and who made it. The latter probably more important.

The "model specific" ones are made exactly the same way and would be subject to the same caveat. Brake hose comes on a big reel, fittings came in a selection box. "Model specific" places will have a chart stating the length and fittings required for that model and most probably make them up to order anyway.

I suppose the only advantage is if it doesn't fit, you can send a model specific one back whereas if you cocked up your measurements, it's on you.

If the one in your first post is really doing hoses for £21 you are unlightly to beat that !

We or rather our Wholesaler supplies custom hoses to order but £35

We used to make up ourselves with goodridge parts but not mail order and supply and fit only

Check your local shop / workshop see what they can do

The big name is goodridge but thee are lots of good suppliers out there

Okay wow. Check the suppliers website directly....
On Goodridge's own website theyre a measly 26 quid plus vat.

Looks like some websites put a lot of markup on them.

HEL are very good too. I actually preferr then to Goodrige. Lower profile and a good selection of colours (I like black hoses and they do black stainless fittings).
