hope brake woes, banjo sheared so need help

....... With finding a new one.

I was looking at building my pipedream as all the bits have arrived. I have a couple of sets of hope brakes and also bought a superstar kit (hose and fittings). Disc brakes are new to me, well not had any other than some Hayes about 4 years ago and they were for and forget, so I thought I'd take one apart to see how the superstar kit would fit and doh, the banjo sheared off as I was attempting to undo it.

Now I could use the superstar kit, but it's a different size hose so won't fit the hope hose. I could just use the parts off the other brakes I have, but I was intending to sell a set so I either need to a) find a new banjo or b) sell a set with the superstar kit.

The thing about the superstar kit is, I don't think the brake lever fittings look as nice.

I do have some formula ones, but they are different as use rubber washers instead of brass olives, so aren't transferable.

Anyway, long story short, after a hope banjo bolt, and perhaps the crush washer/olives needed to refit. Oh, a length of black hope hose for a front would also be handy.

Anyone know, aside from hope, where I can get some, as not looking to spend much, as I want to sell them on without losing too much money.

Never used or played with such modern tech, but Clarks will do a kit.

Thanks, seems that there are a few kits available but reviews indicate issues with fitting them with existing parts as I can't find a hope made one. I should probably just use the superstar kit, or sell that with the brakes I'm not keeping, but that would be too easy right.

I see Clarks have 4 different kits depending on your brake. So nothing standard, lol.

but I will point you here as their info on the product and themselves are very helpful

(or just wait another 5 mins for some real advise from someone who actually knows )

Cheers fluffy, that's the hope kit I found. Would I be right in assuming that the hose on the m4/mini is 5mm?

No idea, can only assume like you.

Seems a lot of money for just some basic parts though. Can buy a full bikes worth of 'wired' brake cables for that.

It sure does, but I like my retro bikes too much to trash them, and this is my attempt at building something modern I care a little less about.

Looking at it, just buy this. Get both end and hose
Looking in the details it's rebranded Goodridge.
5mm is also the same as Magura HS33 (probably why tartybikes has a lot of the stuff)

Cheers, so far it's just the banjo bolt (straight) bits for a single brake, 6mm hose I believe.
