Having repaired my upper hose about 3 years ago which was leaking on the middle gland. I initially thought that this was a repair from a previous owner, why put a gland in the middle of a hose? unless it broke in the middle?.
Well from memory after cutting the original hose, this mid section was I think? a de-aerator, with a metal restriction pipe inside the hose and I'm sure genuine Honda.
Well it's leaking again 3 years on and I remember my hydraulics friend saying the hose could be leaking in the wall and not to expect much more life.
So I have ordered an RTG hose ( because they have sold more? lol ), but it doesn't look like they have the mid section and just seems straight hose, all the copy ones from China ( LHD ) seem to have this middle gland.
Anyone noticed this, Is it really important? ( I don't do much town driving etc ), but surely it's there for a reason.
Be interesting to hear back from experience.
Cheers, Sean.
