Unclejake Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 What do you mean 'enough'? If you are talking about the reseviour then they may be OK but you would be better with a M/C that accepts a remote reseviour as the ones you are looking at are going to be hell hard to fill with fluid if they are under the dash. Have you made a wheel cylinder/bore size selection yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Oh sorted! need more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Unless you are on a very strict budget have a think about using the same M/Cs as as Sholdowa. They are not that expensive and you may get some second hand. I buy them new from Les Hunter in Christchurch for about $58 each I think. He also sells the remote reseviours. I have some used ones I could sell but you will need to know what bore size you want first. My shit v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The hoses are fuel line I think. Les sold it to me but he also told me I could just use somthing else but I can't remember exactly what the alternative was. You want me to go have a look at the workshop and let you know what hose type it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
