Anyone know what type of rubber hose to get for the rear brake? I need a longer piece and the guys at the autoparts store looked at me like i had 2 heads when i asked for rubber brake line hose. I don't know if the brake fluid would eat through the regular stuff. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks
-John

You can use tygon tubing, or you can order it from Yoyodyne... http://www.yoyodyneti.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=19.6371.30

Check to make sure you are ordering the right size.

Check kurveygirl.com and compare prices.

Also, all flavors of Tygon are not equal. If getting Tygon from a source other than Kurveygirl or yoyodyne, make sure that it is rated for glycol.

If you are not specifically wanting a clear hose, any EPDM rubber hose of the correct size will work. And if the term EPDM bothers the auto parts store clerk, just ask for windshield washer hose.  :)
