182 Goodridge hoses

[PYE21]

I got some goodridge hoses for my 182 last week and looking at the rears i carn't see where they go on! The standard flexible hose is crimped to a solid green pipe and the is no pipes in the kit that link the rear beam to the floorplan.

Has anbody fitted these can help.

I checked the part number with goodridge to check that i have the correct ones as well.

Cheers

hehe they are buggers to spot ..... you need to get further under the car.

But there should be six hoses to replace the flexible hose that is in the centre of the two solid green hoses on the rear, two for the axle to the floorplan and then two for the front?

the goodridge kit only has 4 hoses, you don't touch the rear hoses going to the calipers, the rear replacements are under the car behind the rear axle

This one had me confused for a while when i first got mine i must admit.

The shorter hoses in the kit just replace the rubber hoses on the nearside rear axle / beam. As you noticed the ones on the rear calipers are crimped on so cant be changed. It seems a bit of a stupid design really as you still have a section of hose in the system that can expand.

Thats what i thought, im going to get some long braided bits made up to match the standard, or get a mix of solid and braided.

Whats the point of replacing some but not all the hoses????

remember the rear doesn't do much
