i have all the bits for my rear conversion on my series one, but im stuck on brake lines? do i need std goodridge or longer ones??? help!!!

#BTW using 2wd rears, and Autospecilaist rear brackets..

ta!

 

longer ones ideally but they can be bought from zoo

 

o ok....

 

depends on where the bracket puts the caliper

 

As said by nuts depends were you put ya caliper sum put it at the back and sum the front.

Mine are situited were they are on a cosworth just abit back from the top of the disc angle is perfect for hand brake cable had breided pipes made by a company were i live £50 worked perfect. dont no if this helps but this is how i did mine

TIP

Put the bracket on the rear hub if you turn it to the front or back all the holes line up what i did was rotate it from the back so its just not at the top if you look at the holes 2 of them line up and 2 dont the 2 that dont i marked with a pen through the holes in the back of the hub took plate off and drilled 2 new holes put plate back on put the 4 bolts in the bracket sits in the perfect place just like on a cozzie for brake lines and handbrake cable karl

 

Right when i fitted cossie size rear discs 273mm IIRC (also had 282mm Front at the time) I found that under what could only be termed as emergengy braking in the dry and heavy braking in the wet the rear used to out brake the front just like you had pulled the handbrake up back used to slide out was a bit of a surprise the first time lol.

Now that was on a C reg xr3i not sure if i should have fitted a valve or something to reduce the rear pressure a bit im sure someone will chime in on this...

For my next car I have found brackets that will allow fitment of a 240mm disc (xr4x4 Rear) so kinda hopeing that i wont have this problem again as the front will be 278mm this time.

Not sure if anyone running the conversion on a rst has had the same problem but i sure did lol
