I think both Ian and Steve offer this service direct to Club members in Ian's case, and anyone who'll pay him in Steve's!

Here's the guy
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-PRE-197 ... QxzxLEhBnA

Not listing one at the mo but message him and he'll be very helpful. He lets me collect from his house which is very handy when your master cylinder needs repairing immediately (after new old stock girling crumbled in my hands when trying to fit the seal)

Tony
Thanks Tony, i'll give him a shout! Rich is doing an LSV and PDWA delete plus TJs on a late dual circuit car, having done this myself (plus line lock install) on the Carledo, I have all the data to hand, i've even found a non Sprint rear hose hanger for the body in my parts stock (might get Alun to see if his fabricator will make a few of these)

Two ways to approach this.

The back stainless steel flexible hose you need is common to various cars other than the non LSV Dolomites, such as some Spitfires.
Rimmers stock them. As do ANG Triumph (on ebay). There is no need to have a bespoke one made.


Alternatively, can you not use a Sprint hose connected to a straight joiner?




Ian.

If you mean the unions into the calipers, they are 10x1.25mm male unions.

To do it right, however, you need a flexi hose made to go into the caliper, something like this......

Unfortunately, Mahesh had my last pair of these, which I had made to order by Goodridge.

If rubber flexys are ok to use, plenty of moderns have the 10mm thread on a male end. Pug 307 hose will fit for example but maybe a tad long.
Of course Ford hoses from a KA would obviously fit. Make the metal brake pipes to suit :)

The back flexable hoses on a stag are the same connections you need for a dolomite,even a sprint

For fitting Ford calipers I maintain it is best to retain the original style front hose
and join it to a second flexible, this one going to the caliper.

The specification for such a second is
195mm hose length, male M10x1.0 and 90 degree elbow female swivel 3/8"x24 UNF.
Please do note you need a copper washer for the male end.




Ian.
