I'm getting some braided hoses made up for my fiesta brake conversion and the guy making 'em needs to know length.

Wont the standard hose work? I tried the standard hoses on Rover 100 calipers and Pug 205 Bendix calipers, and the fit in the holes On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Sadly not, the thread that goes into the caliper is only slightly wrong so it slowly leaks fluid.

He's making them up for me tomorrow so I should have 'em fitted by tomorrow night then it's wheels and tyres next up. Got 'em both, just need to paint one and merge them together. |

That would have been from tip to tip made up. check the youtube vid that I did, I'm sure we put it on there. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Sod it, I'll make a decision and contact him in the morning, I suppose I should head out to the car and see which looks right.

I tried the standard hoses on Rover 100 calipers and Pug 205 Bendix calipers, and the fit in the holes Be careful, the Mini stuff is 3/8 UNF, the Peugeot for definite is 10x1mm As you have found these are very close and will screw in to each other, but are a baggy fit. To do it right you need to get the caliper ends in 10x1, easy enough if using banjo ends as you can just swap the bolt from 3/8 UNF to 10x1.

Well Martin at MRA minis made me an open ended one up and I've gone for 250mm, should be the right length, long enough to reach at full lock and short enough not to cause any issues.
