Jcb sh1te parts

Just venting my anger again !
How the hell can Jcb claim to be a global force in manufacturing when their brake hoses cant even last a few months !
When the warranty is over on these set of hoses, im going elswhere.

If you could keep the spring on the ferrule it would stand half a chance! pipes probably too long IMO? maybe a short bit of adhesive heat shrink over the ferrule to help support the rubber hose so it bends further back would be better? couple of layers should do the trick?

Makes no difference, spring was on the rear one, still went. I would have to check, but i think the first blew at about 150 hrs after being fitted this second one is less than 40 hrs on top of that. Every one goes within an inch of the ferrule, poor quality hose not able to withstand the tight radius it goes through.
Im sure someone has told me to get some made up using gates megaflex pipe, and go down a size in pipe to 1/4 inch, that they would last much much longer, not sure on the braking performance though :scratchhead:

1/4 inch will be fine but what you need is a hose tail support to take the flex away from the ferrule and make the hose bend further back and not as sharp. like these https://www.hoses.co.uk/hydraulics/...s/hose-protection/zinc-plated-antikink-spring
