EVENING

I WANT TO RUN BRAIDED HOSES AS I HAVE THEM ON THE BACK, I KNOW I COULD USE THE STANDARDS BUT WANT TO GO BRAIDED. CAN I USE THE REPLACEMENT GOODRICH ONES FOR RST? SOME PEOPLE SAY SHOULD BE FINE OTHERS SAY THEY WONT FIT IN THE CALIPER, WHAT BRAIDED HOSES DOES EVERYONE RUN?

NEED TO ORDER A SET ASAP.

Sorry Adam, I dont know the answer, but if you look in the bottom corner of your keyboard there is a key between the 'Shift' key and the 'Tab' key. Use it!

I am led to beleive that you can't use ordinary braided lines with the ST170 conversion as they are a smidgeon too short. I think, but don't quote me, that Mike R sorted a set of correctly lengthed items for somebody.

I have ST170 front brakes on my S1 and the standard brake hoses were used so i see no reason why a braided set for rs turbo calipers wouldn't work.

Hope that helps Adam

adamS2RST

So, Mr Rainbird can do me a set, I wonder how much

Cliff - Thanks for that. Yes, I know other people using the standard pipes, hmmmm

John Laverick

I had the ST170 brakes set-up on my RST, used standard Goodrich braided hoses on mine with no problems

CozzyBrom

Talking of brakes Adam how are they?

adamS2RST

Brom, that i'm not sure of. Perhaps I will just get a set of goodrich hoses and see how I get on with them.

Lee - They are fine mate, well I have a pedal again! That eezibleed pressure kit worked a treat ,and i've gone and got one now too Only problem being the front discs are shite and pads are getting low, they have been on there ages, infact were on my black s2 originally Just cant wait to get the abs ripped out and the ST kit fitted, just need to sort the front braided lines I guess

RScrew69

is there a guide anywhere on exactly how to fit them on an s2? i got the whole kit pads, discs, and calipers and aeroquip braided lines. Cany anyone help?

cheeRS peeps

If you have the spacers ( sure they were 12-14 mm ) then you just need to drill the holes out where the calipers mount to accept the bigger bolts that are used on the ST170.

Give Gadget a pm he is the man for answering all your questions.

RScrew69

hmmm, ok will probably get them drilled out then, and do i need to use st170 bigger bolts then?

suppose thats something for me to get then today from uncle henry's, lol

cheeRS

adamS2RST

I got the bolts and spacers, just need to sort the lines

John Laverick

Couldn't be easier to fit really....get a drill with a 12mm drill bit and drill all 4 holes out. Go to your local hardware store (look in the Yellow pages if your not sure) and buy 4 M12 bolts then cut down to length. Put the disk on the hub......place the caliper of the disc (including pads) feed the bolt from the back of the hub through the spacer and into the caliper (ensure the bolts aren't too long that they foul on the disc). Connect the hose...bleed and your away

anyone else?

Adam you need standard length front hoses but with long fittings on both ends.

Matt.

adamS2RST

Matt, any chance you can let me know where you got yours made up please?

adamS2RST

anyone else care to comment? Would rather get some braided jobbies up front to go with the backs that use the original pipes
