Green Brake Hose Qty to do a Goose??? Reservoirs to Master Cyls

...With the original intake tubes soldered to the banjos, maybe less than a foot is needed (I can only think of a single splice per each of the 3 bottles). My car replaced the tubed pipes with simple banjos and took longer hoses. So why not be generous , the tubing was used on VW (as well as the bottles themselves, they are from Type-1 VW) and hose is available from Beetle houses https://www.pacificcustoms.com/hosen203751.html  (though for some reason, I remember the outside diameter of the feed pipes are more like 4.5mm...)

(btw on reservoirs, these were used on early Pantera as well -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-TY...d:g:h7QAAOSww95ftr3M

Lee,

Thanks!  I was suspecting that the long metal tubes may have been deleted and you've confirmed it!

Cheers!

Gents, thanks for the motivation to take a close look at these parts  As it turns out my clutch hose had absolutely petrified itself. Bending it slightly made amazing crackling sounds........had to cut off the old 'rubber' with a utility knife; razor blades were too flimsy.  There other two hoses weren't as bad...... but all ready for replacement.

All three segments were the same length - 95mm. The BAD thing is how hard it is to reach these parts - especially the clutch connection - even with the dash top & front removed. One of those painful Mangusta jobs for sure!!  Cheers, Nate

....and no blood!!!!!   Usually the flimsy razor blades score 1 for them......!!!

Now get your self down to your local VeeeDoubleYou Beeeeetaaall shop for some new hose!

Ugly job well done!!!
Cheers!
Steve

Nate, btw, I've never been able to find the seals themselves at the reservoirs...except for buying the repro bottle assembly...and that banjo with the long nose (for the brake master) I hope is just not necessary (any idea what that long tube on the banjo bolt is about?)--Lee

Thanks Lee!  I actually thought the seals might be OK since they weren't rock hard yet but just checked and they really don't fit the reservoirs properly - as if they have swollen a bit.  At least nice having VW replacements out there vice having to call the local Ferrari dealership or something

As for the extension on the banjo bolt, it plays some role in positioning the 'shuttle' section of the m/c assembly.  The photo shows parts from a 246 Dino, which must use a very similar m/c.  As a wild guess, the rotational position of that shuttle seems irrelevant, but axial positioning (or restraint) COULD be if there was a front or rear circuit failure.  I DO know that the 'pin' is a common Bonaldi feature....even on late Panteras (which don't use banjos) the function is taken by a separate screw that is 'hidden' under one of the reservoir plugs.

So imo nice to have a pin of some sort in there if your shuttle has the slot!!
