I suspect that this is less important with the silicone, but you still need to verify compatability. Using the right kind of hose guarantees compatability. The hoses under there get black with dirt so you can't see the color. It's only after you take them out and clean them that you can see that they were once blue. I think I still have some of the blue hose if you need it. > > Light blue for brake lines from reservoir to master > > cylinder?
