Abstract
A hose connector has a body having a first portion adapted to receive a flexible hydraulic hose and a second portion adatped for connection to a brake actuator. A bore portion of the second body portion is arranged to provide a space large enough to contain at least a major part of any heated brake fluid returning from the actuator upon brake retraction thereby minimizing the amount of heated fluid reaching the hose.
