Get the bits from Burtons and make some up yourself.

Dead easy to do.

Where abouts are you?

If you're close enough you could whip one off, nip down and match some fittings up?

Not sure whether the AP's you have would have the same fittings as the normal cossie kits would.

the AP have a banjo connector at the caliper end, probably easier to order some from a trader on here, unless you have a hose/hydraulic place nearby, pop one of old ones in & they will make another set up.

worded last post abit wrong ment to say threaded hole in caliper and straight pipe with fixed end screws straight in. caliper must be the same as morgan aero 8 as pads from morgan were identical and only cross reference pad that was the same. i had to send ebc an exact diagram for them to match when i needed pads !
