ZRX Front Lower Brake Hose Difference - WHY ??

[pertonpc]

Good Evening,

Whilst cleaning up front left caliper I noticed something today.

Lower front left hose has the same union at both ends - with no locating lugs on either banjo end.

Lower front right hose has a locating lug on bottom union where it fits to caliper.

Have checked parts diagram and the two hoses are different part numbers and the one is shown with a lug.

Part codes 43095-0007 and 0008 refer.

I can't think why Kawa would have done this - surely both should have a lower lug or neither ???

Can it be to do with stopping the right one twisting too far inward as it gets tightened ???

I am struggling to see the rationale.

Could someone who knows brakes put me out of my misery.

. . . things were so simple back in the 70's models

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Yep I have posted in a few places so hopefully someone will have the info.

I am guessing that Kawa did not only do this on the ZRX models and there are a few Rexxers on here plus some ex kawa techs so you never know.
