    The rear reservoir hose appears to be leaking. 43512-MBG-006 which I can not find available anywhere. This appears to be a low pressure line that feeds the the rear master cylinder. I should just be able to use a regular rubber brake line in a pinch?

    Also, I was thinking about doing braided lines at the end of the season. Would this part come with a set of braided lines? Which brand do you all suggest? I've been reading as much as I can. I searched but couldn't find anything specifically to this part on the forum.

    Part#12 in the diagram.

    Anyone know the ID of this hose? It's harder to find than I thought and I'm going to have to order it I think.

    Due the bizarre mounting location of the reservoir, that hose has some odd bends in it. Ya might wanna just order the OEM hose, as it comes with all the bends in the right places and it is also sleeved, to prevent the fluid carrying hose from abrasion. This will not come as part of a brake line kit.

    You could try replacing it with 1/4" (6.35 mm) or 5/16" (8 mm) Tygon tubing and routing it so it doesn't kink or you could do this and eliminate the reservoir altogether.
