After all the fluid has leaked out, tie a small knot into the rubber hose. You could also crimp the metal tube if you like, for a more professional look.

Now go out & have fun.

The disclaimer at post #58 still stands.
So this will stop those black, dirty things from rubbing against the discs and ruining the paintjob right!!

Elf - Despite the disclaimer you do know that you are going to be in big trouble soon right!! Some wisecrack is going to try these EXPERT mods you know
