Default cosworth 2wd disc conversion

got a conversion kit to fit front cosworth 285mm 2wd discs to my s2 hubs. tried putting the caliper on but the brake hose is too short. i have s2 brake hoses on the car so does any one know which hoses i would need. thanks

Put cossie 4 pots on, you just need the calipers machined down at the mounting points a few mil. Massive difference!

I used 4x4 calipers with 2wd discs. Fitted straight on. Only thing I needed was washers for between the mounting bracket & the caliper
