Hey guys. Just finishing gathering parts for the 4 pot conversion on my S2. All that's left are the brake lines. Tried contacting Mike Rainbird several times but no response. As far as I'm aware no other company does the conversion lines so I'm making them myself. Don't have access to the car until August so I can't mock up the brakes and measure so has anyone with this conversion know how long the line needs to be or failing that the stock hose length?

Cheers,

Ahmet

 

Stock hose length on mine.

 

Any chance you could get the length of the hose from the bulkhead Union to where it bolts into the caliper mate?

 

Mike rainbird still sells the lines mate, banjo'd at the caliper end to give clearence for cv boot, i got my ones made by HEL, custom length, colour with grommits for £35 free next day delivery

 

Tried him about 3 times but not had a reply to any of my emails. That sounds like a really good price, might have to make an inquiry.

 

How do these fit to the hub, do you need a spacer/bracket and what discs do use?

 

Need to machine a few mm off the mounting face of the caliper and use 2wd cosworth discs. Mounting holes in the hub also need to be enlarged from M10 to M12

 

It's 4mm that needs machining off the caliper mounting face to sit central on the disc
