Even the length of hose std should be enough to get them into the inner guard.

Mine just lay in the engine bay (slack is I)
Haven't got to mounting them yet.

better than mine laying in the cupboard.....dusty they are

Sorry I went quiet for a little bit guys. I just left work and rode home.

I'm getting places now using aeroquip in my searching.

Hey Tombie. I'm guessing yours might be a bit longer if they are different. There is no way mine will reach.

Happy Days.

The best I have found is a referance to Aeroquip Matchmate -8 hose on the Bilstien 9100 shocks but the 7100 uses -6 hose which while flows less, is rated to higher pressure.

Now I found Aeroquip refer to there GH195 hydraulic hose as Matchmate and describe it as:

"Aeroquip GH195 AQP MATCHMATE BLUE HI-IMPULSE Hose is a Double wire braid hose that meets or exceeds
SAE 100R2AT Type S, EN853 2SN, and ISO 1436-1 Type 2SN specifications."

The dash 6 is rated at 5000psi working pressure and 20,000psi burst pressure so as long as I can find a hose that meets these specs and can get fittings attached. I should be all good.

Happy Days.

Ok now out the window with the GH195.

Aeroquip refer to a heap of hoses as Matchmate.

Bugger.

Considering operating pressure in the shock is sub 200psi I wouldn't worry too much.

You're over thinking it a little bit too much.

Cool. I thought it would be more presure than that.

Happy Days.

Reviving this thread for another 7100 q.
For people that have bought these, did they come with brackets to mount the reservoirs?
I'm about to buy some from eshocks (and this thread was awesome help!) and wondering whether I should add the reservoir clamps on eshocks to the cart: eshocks.com: Off-Road 7100 Series - All Parts
Or if the shocks will come with some. I emailed eshocks but no response...

What have other people done for reservoir brackets?
