LGC gear legs on the Rv14A

Hello all, We've received inquiries about doing hoses for the LGC gear on RV14As. We dont have the data, especially the location of the upper port to the original Vans port location in the steel gear mount. Because of that, we dont know if the length of the hoses will be correct or not. The caliper hose we think we know, but again, not having the data is tough. If any of you RV14A builders would care to share some pics that would be fabulous. I talked to LGC last week and will hopefully get some information. Tom

Hey Tom, I corresponded a lot with Steve about this back in March and you made me caliper hoses that seem to fit perfectly for the setup you're describing. Let me know what other data I can provide to help out.
 
I’d be interested in a set of these.

Regarding the gear to caliper line, I assume that will be dependent on the calipers used. For example, I’m using a two cylinder caliper, so the connection port may not be in the same location as the standard single cylinder version.

Mike---are you using a Beringer caliper or a Matco 2XL caliper? And yes, the caliper hoses would be different based on the caliper, and its mounting location.
