davidbarr Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hello. I'm getting rid of my braided hose and Buying a plastic hose with two shroud nuts and two olives. I've fitted barbed fittings to hoses before but not sure how to go about fitting the shroud nut and olive. Do I need to buy magura clamping blocks, or can you fit them by hand? Any help appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidbarr Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Easy as that? Good to know. Should I have a gap between the olive and the end of the hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The olive should be loosed on the hose, and leave a gap of about 2mm from the end of the hose and where the olive is, hopefully someone else can confirm this though..
