I think youll need to buy it from a supplier, because mine came with a certificate to say it was ok for brake fluid

Mine are Fiat Seicento hoses.

A couple of pictures in my archive of marked hoses. The longer one is p/n 46774776, 290mm long, and the other is p/n 46774775, 220mm long. Total cost £8.48 inc vat (5 years ago).


If I had known I would have just bought 2 of the shorter ones, they are just the right length.

Get the blue braided hose from Merlin motorsport, they will also send you the print out of spec for SVA/IVA.

hi steve, apparently something in brake fluid will eat through fuel resistant hose and you wont pass IVA with it

Hello Craig
- I'm glad I found out before I filled the system up with brake fluid. I have got two pipes (ex british leyland Marina clutch master to slave cylinder hose - marked up lockheed - clutch). I think they will be better?

Hows your build going?

bought mine at a show a couple of years ago and never got the letter - now can't remember who i bought it off to ask for the letter. Suspect it was CBS. Can anyone send me a copy of the letter if i double check the codes on the pipe?
