Funny how we all have the same path to completion of these trucks.
Aghabridge saved my butt today.
Popped in there on the way to work this morning.
Of course the guys had never seen me dressed for the day job so the teasing was instant. I felt very aware of everything being tools, greasy and a bit dirty so tried to keep my suit clean and not trip over any non existent obstructions on the floor. These guys will pass any H&S inspection with ease. The shop is just right.
Anyway, after finding the right fittings they made me an adapter to go between my brake hose and brake line.
It is really weird that the new brake hose has a different female fitting on the chassis.
All of £8.00 incl labour. Result.

So the next trick will be fitting the adapting connection inside the chassis rail. And then ensuring it all fits together.
