Thought id update this as i sent the seals back off as they was the wrong ones. My next question is will motul 5.1 brake fluid be good for my brakes? Also im going to be flushing the fecker out how many litres will i need?

Thanks.

Anyone?

motul 5.1 will be fine... although i think it's a bit overkill as I only just started to boil my fluid on a trackday and that was dot4

if it's cheap then go for it otherwise stick with good ole 4

Sharki -  Have you still got the contact details for the guy that made your hoses up as I seem to have misplaced my mk4 rear conversion ones when I moved house and I don't particularly want to pay £40 for a pair of Goodridge unless totally necessary.

I have but i got to tell you. On one of the braided pipes the thread started to come of (inside) and the plating is bollox!! After a week of having them on they started to corode.

There you go mate

Ah I've already attempted contact through that page a week or so ago to no avail...
That said,  if they're sh!t then its probably done me a favour losing my other ones.  I guess i'll be getting the GGoodridge ones then.  Cheapest I've found so far this morning are £37 from C&R Enterprises.
