Default Fitting 4 pots on a classic

Hi guys,
I'm about to fit 4 pots from a later classic to mine, just wondered what i need to do it?
Obviously i have calipers/disc & pads, but do I need new brake lines or anything else?
Cheers

nope,thats all you need.

It might be an idea to think about 2 pots on the rear as keeping with the 1 pot sliding caliper on the back (if thats what you have) it can cause the back ened to step out under hard braking,just worth rememebering

good luck,well worth the upgrade

Good idea t renovate the calipers BEFORE fitting, DO make sure you get the bleed nipples at the top

No, he means when fitting them make sure the bleed nipples are at the top otherwise they wont bleed properly

Oh yeah, just reread that! I know that, don't worry
Thanks for the advice though, hopefully it'll stop a bit better now... Well, just stopping at all would be a nice improvement!!

Need to removed the backing plate also.

Worthwhile fitting braided hoses, if you haven't already.
