Default Bonaco Hose / Brake Lines

I am considering using the Bonaco hoses/lines. Is there anyone else out there that has used them on RV's

Thx,

Default There are a bunch of us.

I had Brett make up some flexible fuel hose to go between the selector valve and electric boost pump for my RV-8 project. He was great to work with. He's currently making up another fuel hose for my engine compartment. Check in the reviews section of the forum and go back a while. There's more information there.

I have all Bonaco lines in my 7...interior fuel and brake, and all my FWF oil and fuel lines are Bonaco. Brett is FANTASTIC to work with!!

IIRC...those are 3/4" holes, and I bought a bunch of different sizes from ACS.

The FWF stuff is fairly new (within the last 8-9 months or so) from Bonaco. At Oshkosh last year, they were just starting to put together the "kit". I think I got one of the first sets back in October.

Another plug for Brett. I got brake (gear leg) and fuel lines and they are wonderfully easy to install and Bonaco was quick on the delivery of exactly the length/diameter etc. that I wanted. If you use the gear leg brake lines, I recommend going with standard fittings on the end, but the smaller ID lines so they fit easily under the fairings. Brett can provide more info.

Hey all,

Thanks for all the great posts. I'll give Bret a holler when I get a little closer.
