Hi All,
I'm at a point in my Rambler project where I need to start building the brake system. I have a Tilton remote reservoir that will supply a Wilwood triple reverse-hung pedal assembly. The (3/8") hose barbs on the reservoir point straight down and I have found some 90° 1/8 NPT x 3/8" hose barb fittings for the cylinders. Since there's only about 4" height and 8" lateral difference in the hose end locations, I'll need very flexible, short bend-radius hose that won't kink. Tilton has a disclaimer on their reservoirs: "Warning: PTFE, EPDM or SBR hose must be used." I can't see any of these having a bend radius (around 3") that will work, any ideas on what kind of hose/tubing will work with DOT4 fluid and actually bend w/o kinking?
