Goodridge Buildaline assembly instructions and technical information.

Hoses

Buildaline hoses are manufactured from 225mm through to 1500mm in 25mm increments with standard clear coated stainless braided 600-03 hose as standard, but we can make them to any length and colour by special order.

How Do I Measure My Hose?

Measure centre to centre of the banjos(or banjo bolts). Then take 90mm off your measurement. This will give you your Buildaline hose length. Once you have established the correct hose length, select the nearest length to your measurement. Keep in mind you may need to accomodate suspension travel depending on the route of your hose.

Installation

1. Fit in place the banjo adapters with the bolts and the correct amount of washers. The recommended torque setting for this is 14-24 ft/lbs. This torque setting is advisory for the fittings, NOT for your master cylinder or calipers, please refer to the manufacturers for those torque settings. Care must be taken so you do not damage either your master cylinder or calipers. Please also ensure that you have chosen the correct threaded bolt for your application.

2. Locate the correct length hose. Route the hose safely, ensuring that it cannot be damaged by daily use, for instance when the steering is at full lock. Use tube clamps if necessary to help with the routing.

3. Screw the hose onto the banjo adapters, making sure that it is fully tightened.
Tip - As a rough guide finger tight then a 1/4 turn will give around 14 ft/lbs.

4. P-Clips are available to ensure that your hoses are routed correctly from here.

5. Bleed your brakes correctly and carefully following any special bleeding procedure indicated in your vehicles manual. Use the manufacturers recommended brake fluid. Goodridge recommend a high quality DOT 4 fluid for road use.

6. TEST FOR ANY LEAKS

7. After using your vehicle for the first time, we would recommend that you give your brakes and fittings a final inspection to check for any small leaks. If any leaks are present, tighten your fittings and repeat from step 5 once more.
