Any tips on how to stop the leaks where the hose (stainless/teflon) meets the banjo?

Cheers

Mine fell apart and the threads striped. I got a new one made to length from chiggy chambers. Nice fella couldn't do enough.

Better to keep quiet and be thought of as a D!ck Head, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

yeah, the supplied braided hoses don't look good enough to even attempt to fit. I replace with decent goodridge hose, with the added benefit of removable, and different angled, banjos

just a local motorcycle shop, or try online. They come in pre-cut lengths, but enough range for something to fit most lambrettas I'm sure.

Mine's just fine, 1.5 seasons now.
But yeah, get a new one if it fails so quickly.
Guess it's hit or miss as with everything in the scooterworld today.

So it's a brand new hose to replace the brand new hose.. :?

and yes, a swaged type does seem more appropiate, come to think of it I can't ever recall seeing a hydraulic line with removable type ends such as the ScootRS type...hmmm

The Chiggy Chambers ones come in pretty colours too.

Reasonable postage as well.
