Hi guys, hope you can help.

I'm doing a brake upgrade on my MKII Orion 1.8 ZVH Turbo, I've got cossie brakes all round to go on. Rears are 4x4 cossie discs, calipers and pads, with conversion plates and proper hand brake cable. Fronts are 4x4 cossie calippers and 2wd disks.

What I want to know is what hoses do i need to fit them? I'm guessing the standard brake pipes on the rears will need to be removed and replaced with some decent hoses? Also thinking some uprated brake hoses for the front calippers too.

Has anyone got any links they would reccomend for what I need?

Cheers

 

burton power mate do the hoses you are looking for.go have a look on the website.

 

Ok, so you the burton ones for the rear.

Do I just need standard escort braded hoses for the front?

 

yeh burton are your best bet for rears.im not 100%sure on the front ones tho mate.

 

Well if coz calipers are a straight fit on standard hoses then logically they would be a straight fit on braded hoses.

Can someone confirm this, my finger is hovering over the order now button!

 

yeh mate thats ok then.wasnt sure they were ok fitting with standard hoses so will be ok with braided ones too

 

Well I think they're ok with standard hoses, I'd just like someone to confirm this for me. I just don't want to buy something which is going to end up completly useless.

Cheers for the rear brake info though

 

not a problem mate but id defo wait for someone to confirm the fronts as im not sure either.

 

Are the calipers 4 pots??

If so then the have to get the ends adapted with bango ends.. cause they will smack the drive shaft otherwise..

 

ive got 4x4 calipers and 2wd disc on the front and i'm using the standard hoses, with no problems, i i'm planing on puting braided hoses on soon.
