I thought I had managed to find an Ultegra 8020 front brake/caliper but it turned out to be a stock error. I can find the lever and the caliper separately, but I damned if I know which hose kit I need. I think it's Shimano part number SM-BH90-JK-SSR but I can't find one anywhere. Can any one point me in the right direction? Thanks

If it’s just a standard Ultegra calliper and lever then you’d just need a length of BH90 hose, olives and barbs (silver). The Ultegra 8 series has the compression nut built into the lever.

@Blazin-saddles believe it or not I actually managed to order a full set so problem solved.

I don't suppose you know which outer I need to run full length gear outers? I've got loads of SP41 but Ultegra 8000 has the thinner outer for the final section into the derailleur.

You can only buy the super flexible shimano outer in 240mm lengths as it's only designed for the last run to the mech. Use SP41 although personally I think full outers for gears are horrid.
