[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 591100, member: 4090"] From reading the Wikipedia entry for 'EPDM' it is not resistant to brake fluid. :( With a calliper, I measured the small black rubber boot that goes between the master cylinder reservoir and the remote fill reservoir and it was 10mm in diameter. I would assume a 12mm might be OK with a Jubilee clip or similar squeezing it in, but I do not think any bigger would be suitable. Thanks, but again, it does not specifically state suitable for brake fluid. I am beginning to realise why the original / proper pipe is so expensive. :? Something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REMOTE-BRAKE-FLUID-RESERVOIR-HOSE-10mm-ID-Sold-by-the-Foot-see-description-/331424736939?hash=item4d2a7426ab:m:mswAiecmJnXlYSbQG13E4bQ is OK, but for that price when you add together the length you need plus shipping, I might as well just get the official one. :| [/QUOTE]
