Updated brake hoses

[Prestigechris]

I've been looking at uprated brake hoses but can't figure out how the rears will fit my car?

172 cup but the pipes are fixed all the way to the valve on the rear axle.

Does anyone know what you would get in the kit?

You mean the rubber hoses on the rear??
look for them in front of the rear axel on the passenger side.

Yeah but the hose is crimped onto a copper brake pipe and then goes straight into the caliper.

Myself and a mate had same problem, I had hoses from Matt Lewis Racing and he had Goodridges and on both the rears were normal screw in fixings but standards were a crimped fit. Left them off in the end and just stuck with the fronts. Lucky the back brakes do naff all anyway isnt it. Funnily enough we were chatting about this yesterday and wondered why nobody else had queried it and along comes your thread.

Slight bit of face palming from me.

The braided hoses go between the rear beam and body.

As above lads, Alex is spot on. You'd get 4 pieces of braided lines in a kit, the two pictured above and two for the front calipers

Thank you. Appreciate the reply. That's what forums are for helping people! I'll have a look underneath and see if I can find that part.

No worries. Absolutely mate :approve:

I admit to being a doughnut. We thought it weird that nobody else had this problem and now I can see why. Damn that means I've gotta do more work before Bedford now.
