Hosetechnik releases new stainless steel brake fitments

Hosetechnik Classic Nipple range Stainless

Off the back of the overwhelming success of its recently launched metric stainless steel bleed nipples, Hosetechnik, the performance braking division of Forge Motorsport, has released a whole raft of other new products to help owners of classic and retro cars, as well as owners of cars with the harder to find Wilwood brake tapered threads. The firm also now offers durable silicone rubber covers to protect the new nipples from corrosion and salt, too.

The new fitments mean that now, all 3/8 UNF, M10.1 and M8x1.25 calipers can be catered for. Hosetechnik has engineered each of the products from aerospace grade material, after an overwhelming number of requests from its dealers and end-users to create a ‘fit and forget’ solution that could be used to replace the OEM parts on classic and retro car calipers.

The Wilwood adapters make life much easier for those looking to upgrade the unusual thread on many of those calipers. These adapt 1/8NPT to M10x1, solving a great headache for many kit and race car builders!

The quality of the 303 grade stainless prevents the future possibility of corrosion, making fluid changes and bleed-through procedures a total doddle. A great way of making life easier on an older vehicle and future proofing the braking system.

Each set of 4 bleed nipples comes with a lifetime guarantee and cost just £16.25. The covers are just £3.50 per set of 4. The Wilwood adapter threads are £2.20 each. All prices exclude VAT.
