BSR Products - our local NASCAR supply shop (STOP IT, CRAIG!:wink

has a great little bottle with a steel hanging cord, 2 feet of clear hose (Part number TEE-72-503-BSR) and it's $7.50. Its nice because you can create a little bit of a vacuum before taking off the hose so you don't drip brake fluid at all.

Call BSR at 1-800-432-2798

They also carry Castrol SRF....

We're from Cali we don't say things like "pardner" or "fixin' to" or other such acromonious trite.

We use terms like "sup dawg, I need some hose".

yeah right.....

but seriously the hose rack in home depot has great clear tubing by the foot 5/16th or some such size I thinks works fine and its only about $.20 a foot vice $7.50....

If you can't take an actual bleeder with you take something near the same size as a bleeder say a pencil or something similar

I went to the 3 racing websites I normally buy my racing equiptment from but none of them have brake bleeder hoses. Would appreciate it if anyone can turn me onto a website that has them.

Any auto supply store, home depot, pet store... I can
name a few more... but a brake bleeder hose is just a
rubber hose about 10 inches long... one end goes on the
bleeder valve ( just push it on over the ****** ) and the
other goes into the container you want to use to bleed the
brake fluid into... a coke bottle works ok. Make sure you
put the hose on before you loosen the ******. :)

Probably for you, the easiest way would be to walk into your
favorite auto supply store and say " I need some hose for bleeding the brakes on my viper pardner "

Clerk says " right this way sir "... shows you the rack with
all of the vacuum hose's. Now you just tell him " I'll take
one foot of this " while your pointing to the black rubber hose on the rack wrapped around the reel.

Clerk says " OK, that'l be $0.45 anything else I can help you
with "

You say " nope "

and off you ride into the sunset ready to tackle the brakes.

Hope this helps with your delimma

The plastic hose has a 1/4" I.D. and a 3/8" O.D. It can be purchased at your local Ace Hardware or Home Depot. You can purchase it by the linear foot. As I recall, it's about 25 cents per foot. I usually get 10 or 20 feet at a time and cut into pieces about 2 feet long. It's so cheap! After multiple use and storage, it gets fogged up/stained and it's time to use a new piece so you can clearly see the fluid coming out of your caliper.

Save some time & go to wal mart & buy a MY T VAC for 25$ , One man operation & you can bleed your brakes efficently as well as a host of other tests & fluid transfers too. It has a number of ******* that attach to any bleeder. I have used this on all my brakes for over 15 years with excellent result & no mess.Its better then my air powered $200 high tech machine.
