wrong brake hoses

Didn't check properly so ordered 1980 onwards front hoses as mine in an '82 and the don't fit (different thread). Go and recheck and find that the set up I have is pre 1980.

Annoyed. So now off the road again and hope I can order on Friday and get a Saturday delivery.

Not the only one to do that

Mine is a later 81 (oct/nov from menory) so I did the same.
Wrong thread as well (Lr is fitted with imperial fittings it would seem) - but as I needed to make new hard lines anyway I made them with the imperial thread at the T piece and the post 80 metric thread at the flexi end. Will have a future owner swearing that one :lol:
