Title: Braided lines on vr6 calipers.
Post by: Dave_IOW on 10 May 2013, 00:38

Must be a few people running wide track & vr6 calipers with banjo fittings on here.

The mk3/4 braided lines seem very long when fitted to a mk2.

Have you had yours custom made to the correct length?

not done it myself , but have had a few braided lines made up for motorbikes
any hydraulic hose shop can make them up ,with length & fittings you want
 much cheaper than Goodridge or HEL etc. 

HTH :smiley:

Unless you're incredibly pall-y with your hydraulic hose supplier they're unlikely to make up braided hoses for you for a car.  Their liability insurance won't cover the risk.

Merlin Motorsport at Combe will make up hoses to order, as will Goodrich HQ in Exeter.... you just need to give them the thread type and pitch and the length of the hose..... and make sure it's right!
