C2 Brake hose markings...

 



Started off with repro brake hoses from Paragon

Cleaned off the incorrect markings using, what else?, brake fluid.

Used Gary B.'s brake hose apparatus for making correct striping...






The finished product.  Ready to install.

A large 1 1/4" socket fits nicely in the sombrero to assist forcing out the old sombrero
