Front brake hoses early type

Post by HansT »

Hi All
Our camper has just been mot'd ( passed!) - the Indy garage fitted replacement front brake hoses, the early type with protective sleeve, which we supplied.
They have passed it and are unconcerned that the protective sleeve is approximately mid way along the hose.

As far as I can recall, the oem hoses that the van has had from new had the sleeve nearer the metal brake pipe union, where it protected the flexible from rubbing on the stancion with the wheels on full lock.

Is it possible to move the protective sleeve once the hoses has been fitted? And if so, how?

On closer examination the sleeve does just protect where it should... My mistake ...
