converting to g60 brakes: shopping list
« on: 27 February 2007, 00:13 »
I am planning on fitting a set of g60 brakes to my 88 8v gti in the next week or so.

So far i have the following:

g60 callipers and carriers
hubs for the above
22mm master cylinder
discs and pads

I think i have everything i need apart from the hoses. Which hoses do i use? I guess i buy the g60 flexi hoses and they fit straight up to my copper brakes lines already on the car. Is this correct?

Thanks

your old hoses should be fine, but its a good time to upgrade to goodridge braided.

 :wink:

I have a 16v set-up and a g60 set-up in the shed already. I was going to go for the 16v so i could stick 14" wheels on if i ewer felt like it, but then i thought well if you're going to do it then do it properly!
