    My mechanic has just tried to fit the £5 Ebay brake hose to my S54 and it wont fit - well the connections fit but he said the end connections will pull through the metal brackets where the hose meets the solid connection points as some use (as shown in the picture posted by Dave).

    I have had a quick look for the Earls item and it is no longer listed on Ebay - has anyone found one for sale of late? I have mailed them via Ebay to see if they are available.

            Sorry to hear that, I can't remember seeing any problems like this when I fitted mine. I'm sure there was a rubber grommet that was very tight that keeps the hose in place.

              It was worth a try, maybe a slightly different fixing or different fittings on the actually hose. He said he tried to put a washer in place but couldn't get the hose to fix securely with the metal clips.

              Funnilly enough, the change seems slightly better for removing and replacing the original item!

                  Nothing no, messaged them twice with no reply.

                  To be honest I need to call them and see, its fine in the cold months, just on a hot summers day when drag racing off against other MCs at Silverstone that it became very difficult

                    The original hose works fine for normal use.

                    Understand bleeding can be difficult which can leave air in the system.
