There shouldn't be any binding if you either offset the fittings slightly or position them like the photo shows in the directions on Murph's site. The fittings can also be turned to achieve the proper angle as well.
not all fittings can be twisted within the hose to change their positions'
True; was going on the statement the OP bought them from Murph, hence Spielgler lines which should have the adjustable banjos. Provided of course they send you the block to clamp the fitting and the extra heavy duty piece of plastic to twist it with!
BTW that block and rod are a piece of junk... I used a pair of channel lock plyers and a close fitting metal rod to twist mine; it was very easy that way.
So the banjo on the end can be rotated? That would work better. I wondered what the block and pin were for.
Hey Tony, Mine worked pretty well. Don't know if I could do three or four sets using the same "Vice Block", but it worked ok. FWIW, I LOVE having real brakes on the Connie
Yeah the hard part was parking the bike on the work bench close to the bench vise......
Yea, that was a total drag. Did you just power lift it or did you have help?
I used a ramp!
Be careful with that statement as not all fittings can be twisted within the hose to change their positions' be sure that the directions that come with your lines clearly state this and includes the tools to do so. Also the reason one fitting has a slight bend in the end is so that it can lock itself in behind the other straight fitting. I also find that it helps to grind off the little tang that hangs off of the master cylinders so that you can position the lines as you so desire.
I have found the Galfer lines to fit without any problems....or needing to grind anything off...
I just looked it up, and fuel hose is Nitrile, which is listed as good for fuels but bad for brake fluid, so no go on the fuel hose. The material to use is EPM or SBR. Look up "brake reservoir hose" on Google. I found a couple, but don't know what the size is for C10. It is used on some VW's and other Euro cars, as well as motorcycleshttp://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection1.asp?Product=3575http://www.doghouserepair.com/store/item/3303/HTH,
