Just fitted my new front brake set up BUT......

[Se7en172]

The guy gave me back two of the hoses from the SS braided hose kit He said they do not go on the car?


I did have four hoses he fitted the other two and the bits ect BUT he gave me these back. Has the guy cocked up?
The brakes feel very responsive though and the brake pedal is very toit

the rears fit inbetween the rear beam and the chassis right under the car

Lazy b*****d, they go on the passenger side just in front of the axle.

What shoudl I do then fellas?
He obviously thinks they don't go on the car so maybe I shouldn't take them back to him because he has cocked up once already

I would consider taking it elsewhere if your not happy with the previous fitter.

Nope he's just not looked car enough down the pipes I wouldn't moan just say there firther down by the rear axle there not easy to see unless he has ramps.

What It gonna cost me just to get those two hoses fitted I just paid £40 to get my set up done

 

[CHRISK172+]

It will be cheaper to go back to him, as I would assume you could haggle a little.

 

[Se7en172]

In all honesty what difference to my car is it going to make With or without these?

Easy to chnage the hoses problem is you have to rebleed the whole brake system and with new fluid do that the expensive buit £40 again most lilky still £40 for bleeding the brakes assumin gits good fluid and fitting front lines is a good price.

Nothing much difference wise.

Yep but nupty a bit strong lazy maybe.

I'm a bit pissed off now though in all honesty I have these bits left over and probably have to fork out another £40 bucks.
