Hose braiding kit - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #17479 4 posts Started by ShadowFX
Has anyone got engine hose braiding? I bought a kit off ebay, my mate and i did a gb and got it cheap, and it doesnt have great directions on how, theyre little pictures 2x3cm and no text, and im not sure how to get this on the hoses.

It's just a kit to cover your existing hoses with steel braid... You have to remove the hose from the car (or get a new one), cut the braid to fit, and slip that over the hose. Those chrome covers just hide the standard screw clamps that are already on the car.
what about the fluid in the hose? how can i stop it from coming out, or do i just refill it after im done?
