We gave Jaguar Land Rover a new flexible brake pipe when they increased its diameter from 4.76mm to 8mm.

When Jaguar Land Rover increased their vehicle’s brake pipe diameter from 4.76mm to 8mm to allow more brake fluid into the braking system, they needed a newly designed brake pipe with an element of flexibility to allow for travel in use.
Given six months to carry out the project, the dedicated Sanoh UK project team included key staff from Product Development, Procurement, Engineering, Manufacturing and Project Management.
Working together, they designed and engineered new machines in-house to manufacture the parts here at Sanoh: a unique end-form for the tubes that allowed a flexi-hose with ferules on each end, before it was crimped and pressure tested to 120 bar.
Jaguar Land Rover were delighted with the outcome and the parts hit their production line on time, and on budget.
