HEL Performance MAZ-4-117 4-Line Braided Brake Line Kit

HEL Performance braided brake line kit for Mazda MX-5 Mk3 / NC, Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 1.8 and 2.0 models as listed in the compatibility table.

MAZ-4-117 is a complete front-and-rear brake hose kit designed to replace the vehicle's flexible hydraulic brake hoses with HEL Performance stainless-steel braided lines. The kit contains four hoses covering the front and rear braking system.

HEL Performance brake hoses use a PTFE inner core reinforced by stainless-steel braid and protected by a PVC outer covering, together with stainless-steel fittings. The reinforced construction is designed to reduce hose expansion as hydraulic pressure increases, helping provide a firmer and more consistent brake-pedal response.

Braided brake hoses are commonly fitted when the original flexible hoses have deteriorated with age or as part of a brake-system refresh or performance upgrade. MAZ-4-117 is designed for the Mazda MX-5 NC braking layout and is suitable for the 1.8 and 2.0 applications listed below.

Fitment advice: This kit is designed for the Mazda MX-5 NC 1.8 and 2.0 applications listed in the compatibility table. For imported, modified or previously repaired cars, matching the vehicle generation, braking-system layout and hose kit reference is recommended before ordering.

Other items to consider: When changing the brake hoses you may also want to consider purchasing fresh brake fluid, replacement bleed nipples where required, brake cleaner and any related brake components showing signs of corrosion or wear.

Useful tools / consumables: Brake pipe spanners, suitable brake fluid, brake bleeding equipment, brake cleaner, protective gloves, axle stands and normal workshop hand tools are useful when carrying out this job.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Moderate / Advanced. Replacement requires opening the vehicle's hydraulic braking system, correctly routing and securing each hose and fully bleeding the system afterwards. A firm brake pedal and leak-free hydraulic system should be confirmed before the vehicle is driven.

Why HEL Performance? HEL Performance braided brake lines are designed for drivers and workshops looking for a durable hydraulic hose upgrade with a firmer, more consistent brake-pedal feel and improved resistance to hose expansion compared with ageing conventional flexible brake hoses. Their PTFE-core, stainless-steel braided construction and stainless-steel fittings make them well suited to road, fast-road and track-day MX-5 preparation.

What’s in the box: 1 complete HEL Performance MAZ-4-117 kit containing 4 braided brake lines for the front and rear of the vehicle, together with the appropriate fittings and installation hardware supplied for this hose configuration.

Installation / bleeding notes: The brake hydraulic system must be bled after installation. Each hose should be routed without twisting and must remain clear of wheels, suspension and bodywork throughout the full steering and suspension range. Use the correct brake fluid for the vehicle and check the complete hydraulic system carefully for leaks before use.
