jon_273 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I known with the Goodridge ones the rears are too big for the mounting holes in the beam. Do the fronts fit in the original mounting brackets?Is anyone using the hosetechnik or Kam Racing ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 No aftermarket hose fits the original mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Well that's a bit rubbish. I didn't really want to resort to cable ties to fix them on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you cable tie them on an arsey MOT inspector will fail you for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Like mine did! Passed eventually after paying two retest fee's though. £90 in tests alone that MOT cost me! . Tosser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSN117 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yup, both front and rears fitted. Havnt got any pictures but i could grab some in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Cool. If you wouldn't mind pics would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Ive got a set of Kam Racing ones in the shed Jon, didnt think they would fit. But maybe im wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Are you both talking about the same bit fitting? I assumed you meant the inner arch brackets that hold the flexi where it joins the line, to stop it moving about. Does Dan just mean both ends bolt up?

DanSN117 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Oh i might be, passed its mot with them though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think mine was just being an arse. It had a jubilee clip round holding it on, but he said it could still move slightly, so I had to put another one on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Goodridge fronts fitted mine fine, as do the ones I had made by HEL for my Porsche brakes. http://www.brake-lines.co.uk/ Still with the VW clip on them.Rears just need the mounting hole in the beam opening and then the fit fine. I would speak to the people in the link above VERY helpful, tell them what the issue is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed you meant the inner arch brackets that hold the flexi where it joins the line, to stop it moving about. Yes I am on about that fitting. I was hoping the pic would show how it was fixed to the bracket.Also with the Goodridge ones, the ends are too big to fit through the holes in the rear beam. This can be solved by drilling out the holes, but it's a faff on. I was hoping some of the other brands would be a direct swap.Foxy, why didn't you think they'd fit?

foxy Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I didnt think they would fit because the Kam Racing ones dont fit my rear beam properly, the ones I had made for the front dont fit, the ones I made for Phil's car dont fit and the Goodridge ones on my Golf dont fit. So I came to the conclusion none would fit.....? Ive got Kam Racing fronts in the shed if you want to try them for size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 So are you trying to say they may not fit? Jon_200+73; why do you need uprated brake hoses for going to the bingo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
