I purchased an R80ST which I have been doing some work on to get it road worthy.
The previous owner has replaced the original brake hose with a braided that goes from the master cylinder straight to the caliper.
It has now come to the point where I am re-assembling the front brake and the hose male thread fitting that goes into the master cylinder looks wrong to me. It has a concave end as does the master cylinder inside, but I thought it should be convex so the two mate together.
Am I right or wrong with my thinking?
Anyone looked at one of these hoses recently?
Picture of it here...
