Here's the part ordering info (Part no, Description,
price)

11315E Goodridge black stainless braided brake hose, 15",
$21.95
11318E Goodridge Black stainless braided brake hose, 18",
$22.95
B59303C Goodridge stainless 20 degree banjo, $11.95
B59403C Goodrideg stainless 45 Degree Banjo (3), $11.95
each

I'd take at least an inch off of each hose, and go with
all 4 banjo's at 45 degrees if I had to do it again. The
screw on connectors need to be tight! Gordon threw in the
brass crush washers but I forgot to order new SS banjo
bolts - Goodridge's are nice, I've used the SS on our
Harley too. The old banjo bolts will work fine, however.
The whole thing was about $100 bucks. Takes less than
1/2 hour to install and bleed. Some of the parts come
from different locations, so shipping was slower than
usual (I usually order Monday's and it arrives thursday
like clockwork for the weekend) - this added a couple of
days.

When I said "new MC", I meant I used MG Cycle's rebuild
kit and rebuilt my stock 15mm MC - it was a mess. I won't
have time to take pictures until next weekend. But I'll
try to get them posted then.

I worked with Gordon at MG Cycle and we ordered a set of
SS Black Coated SS brake lines for my disk Eldo with
polished SS fittings. The lines use screw connections
to
the fittings, and it the coating keeps the appearance
period correct. I had to use rough measurements, and
the
lines are probably and inch or two too long but were
still
usable. If anyone is interested in dimensions, or
pictures, just let me know. I used the stock MC &
lever,
and I also installed a new MC and Ferodo pads.
Installation was a snap, they bled easily to a rock
solid feel. Took it for a test ride, much better than
the
old rubber stuff (still 30 year old brake technology,
but
now servicable).

Tom,

I'm interested in the exact stuff you installed for my
disk Eldo. Either
post it or email me off line.
