Fitted a set of princess calipers on my frst yesterday.. but after looking around the net, there seems to different ways of connecting up the nipples...

I have a straight feed to the caliper. then a small hose connecting it over the caliper..

But other people have said that you need to run a hose from one side of caliper to the other side (middle of each side)

Anyone got pics of their setups?

Does't anyone have the AP setup anymore?

I've got some but they're not on my car yet.. afaik they've got some kind of conversion kit installed on them that joins them together.

basicly you fit the hose oon the top nearist the innwe wing wen fitted to the car
unscrew the blees nipple from the inner side of caliper and make a brake pipe up to come out the bleed nipple and back up to the other inlet for the hose for the far side
once this is finished you simpley blead thew the nipple at the top
this is a real old skool mr 2 escort thing
and to be honist they were not the best calipers around now days

Thanks ffor your reply Brom... I got these 2-3 years ago as a cheap upgrade to the awful ones I had on the car....

Will try and get pics of hoses etc tomoz

This is how the braided hoses are connected..

Sorry for bad pic.. just took it.

guess that wud work aswell just looks dodgy
if you take a pipe out the nipple u see on the left and take it back to the top where the single pipe is conected this is how we used to do it 15 yrs ago

dunno what they're like for fitting to an frst but you can pick up a pair for under £150
