    braided steel brake line (front)

    Update
    I found IBS Turboquip on Jarry in Montreal thx all. They should be able to fabricate on the spot ? Teflon based steel braided line to replicate the original hose I will bring in. I expect to receive a kit with hopefully the right sized -Brake Caliper Seal & Stainless Piston Kit BC54TPSS - from www.brakecrafters.com have cleaned up the empty caliper as best I could and expect to have it all and resolve by the weekend.

    ----
    For a 1978 GS750 VIN# 42636 with a Single front disk & caliper, which brake line parts to order? Thanks! I am not with the bike so cannot measure but wanted to order soon. My other option is pulling the line when I get to the bike end of week and bringing it for a custom steel braided line if I can find a company that does this in Montreal which would be an ideal source if I could find one.

    Best bet is to measure.
    Venhill.
    Venhill Engineering Ltd - UK manufacturer of braided brake lines and control cables for motorcycles and industry since 1970

    is a USA company, Available in Canada, according to AI:
    Venhill products, like motorcycle cables and hoses, are available for purchase in Canada through online retailers such as Amazon.ca, Amazon.ca, Amazon.ca, and Amazon.ca, as well as on eBay through stores like Venhilldirect. Additionally, some Canadian retailers, such as Sane Motion Moto, are partners with Venhill and carry their products.

    I bought a single brake-line w/ fittings for my '82 750T online from them a few years ago. Before Covid. Customer Services was great. Contacted me to let me know the color I wanted wanted wasn't available. I actually spoke with a person.

    If your Master Cylinder and Caliper are all original, you should have 10mm x 1.00 pitch banjos. just an FYI. Again, best practice is you measure to be sure.

      Hopefully Trevor see this. He had a suggestion for a reasonable Canadian company earlier this year.
