[Gr4h4m]

Getting my 8.4" setup on wednesday.

Just need disc driveshafts, metro turbo drive flanges, fiesta calipers.

I've got some adpaters for the brake lines made up, but i'm looking at this banjo bolt idea too.

When Mark and I were looking at the F-caliper (I have MK2 but I think the MK1 is the same) the brake hose connection sticks straight up out of the caliper, this would mean the hose would need to be bent in an S to reach back to the mini subframe mount.

From what I have seen some people have extended the metal pipe to mount on the inner wing or as Mark was saying you could come off of the caliper at a right angle with a banjo fitting so the pipe follows the same route as the old mini one and will be less likly to foul anything.

this is probably what i will be doing when i get my hoses made up. banjo on the festa end.

I have just got Gr4h4ms fitting for him today, a little more expense than was planned but the end result should be a lot better.

here are both ends...........

3/8" x 24 (UNF) for the mini bulkhead end,
Im making it up once the calipers are mounted on the car as its cruical to have the flexi's not fouling any steering or driveshaft etc.
will let you know the length when the jobs done soon.

For my hoses i made up custon braided jobbies with a 90deg fitting at the caliper end. They dont foul anything and i didnt have to move the brake lines! Tad on the expensive side tho

[$way]

cool cheers mark...

when will they be done as ill be wanting mine making up very soon. once you know the length and have finished the hoses for graham would you be able to make up another set? could you give me a price etc.??

pickup76 where did you get them from and how expensive is expensive?

[Pickup76]

I got mine direct from moquip but i only bought the bits and made it all up myself. Bits came to about £30 if i remember correctly.

[bert998]

merlin quoted me about £40 for my hoses :S

problem with those mark is that they dont have the mounting brackets which are hard to get hold of seperately
