Emergency quick question re: brake hoses

[nightfire]

Hey everyone,

My JF*JjfJ@! garbage cheap SS brake hoses I ordered from ebay were all defective. They all pop under full braking pressure.

I've ordered some new better ones, but until they arrive I need a new rubber hose so I can drive.

Napa doesn't stock the rear hoses for our cars... does anyone know a more common car we'd be compatible with?

Escort GT? Probe/MX-6?

I guess it's just a pretty standard 3/16 flare nut to banjo bolt connector.

It closes at 5pm today.. help!

Too bad Ive sold mine when I did s/s brake lines. I would've sent you mine, sorry. Which brand did you get on ebay, where did they pop? Did you get speed bleeders?

Escort GT should be the same... Protege GT but there rare.

Those are the only cars with the 4 disk and same chassis (well similar, you know what I mean)

They were from "gforcebrakes" on ebay, and he seems to have disappeared. One of the lines is working perfectly, and the other 3 were fine for moderate brake pressure.. but when I started the engine and pressed hard, they started pi**ing brake fluid out from behind the flare nut fittings.

Ok I'll check out the Escort GT lines and see what other Mazda he has in stock.

God, what a pain.

EDIT - Hah. Someone else had the same problem:

hey I've got 2 of my old rubber ones I can send you... not sure if they are front or rear... although they are used and by the time you got them you probably will have new ones by then...

Ya I have all the hoses X2. I can see how they come off ok and what condition they're in. You really need to buy a parts car. lol Or 2 or 3 or 4 ,,,,,,

lol aw thanks guys.

It's ok.. I bought an escort GT hose and it fits perfectly.. identical to stock (even the clips fit). Super cheap too - $33CDN.

I swear if I find the animal that sold me these SS lines I will kill him with my bare hands. He was clearly buying defective parts that failed QA and reselling them for a profit. It's one thing to defraud people and take their money... it's totally another to sell them known defective BRAKE parts that could get people killed.
