I would make a wild stab in the dark and say that the connection to the actual caliper will be exactly the same so the braided hoses should fit the 4 pot fine. I think the hoses for the different models will just be slightly different lengths and have slightly different securing points .. but the end fittings will be more or less the same. No doubt someone will be along and confirm this.

Agree. The end fittings should be the same. Or at least thats what I was told when I enquired about the same thing.

Well, seeing as the 4 pots are simply a 'bolt on' mod, then i would have thought that the connection would be the same, you do have big enough wheels don't you....???

the kit you need is specific for the classics..................don't worry about the newer calipers as the fitting is the same
and you can find a car set for less than £70 generally........
