hi all.

just upgraded my my 96 wagon brakes 2 my99. ones with braided pipes
and want 2 know how 2 fasten the pipes to the suspension fasteners as they r thinner than the original rubber pipes.

thanx in advnce.

ps.not very mechanicaly minded.

depands on what make you have fitted.......we only supply "goodridge" kits a they have the correct fittings to re-connect using the orginal style (and not that much more expensive to get the 'right' thing!!)

if it is a "cheaper" type kit then you normally have to resort to something like 'cable ties'.......

Yes as Alyn says the good ones do have a block in the middle of the hose to hold it onto the strut , we make up our own pipes for the brembo calipers and have sourced these blocks to fit , if yours dont have them fit a piece of rubber hose to the braided hose them tie it to the strut , it wont rub and wear through the braided hose then

As Alyn said Cable Ties, but make sure you can get the suspension travel first, before you fix them.

Arron.

thanx 4 the replies.

i put rubber round the hoses.
then tied it to suspension with cable ties.

Hi, CAn you tell me if there was any differance in the pedal feel after you fitted the hoses -

I only want to know this if all you did change was the hoses alone and nothing else, so I can have good idea of before and after.

Just that I've done the usual disc/pad/fluid upgrades and have been told to do the hoses to improve the feel, I'm still rather cynical on this, so an opinion would help my judgement ;)

sorry m8
did upgrade discs pads calipers(2 4 pots from 2 pots.).

pedal feels better tho.

braided hoses work well makes the brakes feel more solid, very good buy.
