Arch,
It is ashame that happened to you concerning those front brake hoses,
theis net can go a long was to help communication and knowledge is
power!
There are many parts that are readily available locally to you and I
feel sharing that info is what we're here tp do. Some parts are
difficult to find even with the cross #'s and those item can more easily
be found through a specialty supplier. Lastly, some parts are produced
only by specialty shops and you have no chouce by going to them.
I have made it my mission to try and sift through the fact from fiction
and provide parts source information and hopefully keep you out of such
mud pits. I always listen and learn and am very interested in all we
say here on the net, others should get involved.
