Goodridge brake line warning

[Fred@BTM]

the clever people at Goodridge have decided to supply the wrong lines for the 172/182 clios, i will post pictures, but be warned they DO NOT fit (maybe a dodgy batch or someone had an "off day") 3 sets i've had now, all the same, still arguing the toss with them now

front lines are approx 6inches too long

rear lines are different lengths, one is approx 3 inch too long and the other 4inch too long plus the have the wrong fittings

 

[Dblock]

Crap seriosly? man i bought some from ebay about 1.5 months ago and they arent fitted yet but i doubt they will take them back.

 

[Fred@BTM]

as i say i'll post pics in the morning

the front lines should be identical in length and so should the rears

 

[Da]

Will send over my pic as per the PM mate.

 

[Bodge!]

They've finally sent mine to Rentech, booked her in for this tuesday.
Mine not being a sport i shouldnt be affected!

 

[Fred@BTM]

^don't speak too soon!

 

[mini-valver]

Mine didnt fit without dye grinding the bracket holes. The unions were way to big!

 

[Fred@BTM]

^they're wrong then!

 

[Bodge!]

^don't speak too soon!

ARSE!

iirc mike ordered em from K-Tec.

I'll have to wait and see

 

[Da]

Reassuring...

How long should the lines be?

 

[Fred@BTM]

identical to the OE ones plus 20-30mm MAX

 

[moggy]

bought mine off ebay, must say couple of months ago, all fitted just fine!

 

[mini-valver]

Aye I thought they must be but the lengths were spot on, if anything I could do with another 40mm or so on the fronts.

 

[Dangerous_dave]

just fitted mine the other day....were fine...got them from demon tweeks...

 

[franx]

credit crunch... they're getting rid of old stock and fitting all kinds of joints etc. to make them fit

 

[Mike@Rentech]

they originally sent the old Clio 16v lines which are indeed as Fred says to long and wrong fixings, I have the correct ones in stock so don't worry.
I didn't get them from Ktec , I got them from one of my suppliers.

 

[Bodge!]

my bad!

apologies to all.

 

[Vicky.]

Tried to fit mine yesterday and as someone mentioned above the only way I can see them fitting is by grinding the brackets.

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

we had this problem so had a set patterened and made by earls,

 

[Curley]

You had these replaced yet fred?

 

[Cupster]

Should look like this (I hope!):

 

[Curley]

That looks right. The one fred had was huge and stuck out alot more than that
