beek Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Cheers for info. ive email HEL to see what they say. I think your right lorenzo the fitting look identicle to brake fittings and actually bolt on ok too. Its a pain really as need a longer hose as remote needs to be in a different position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blow_away Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm pretty sure that shock hoses have a much larger internal bore than brake hoses. See what HEL say, or try someone like Pirtek TAKE CARE - the oil in the shock chamber is pressurised. If you are not sure what you are doing, leave well alone and send it to a specialist.

lorenzo Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Take a look in the team north bros thread, there's a whole bit in there about butchering/rebuilding a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
