Rubber Hose for brake fluid
The aftermarket Willwood master cylinder I have mounted in the OEM location under the floorboard has remote reservoirs that connect to the MC with rubber hose. I am moving the location of the reservoirs, and the hoses that came with the MC will need to be replaced (new location requires a slightly longer hose). I am wondering if there is anything special about rubber hose for brake fluid - can I use regular old rubber hose, or will it not stand up to brake fluid (sort of like gasoline eats regular rubber hose, and fuel rated hose is needed). The hose that came with the MC kit is Gates Plant 200 psi....Looks like I should use EPDM (which is sort of standard radiator/heater hose material), but NOT fuel rated hose nor hydraulic fluid hose.
