Braided Brake Pipes

[Guest 2b_pablo]

Hi guys, my Mk2 seems to have all sierra running gear and Im looking to swap the rubber hoses for goodridge braided ones. I presume I just buy a sierra 4 line kit? Its seems simple enough but you know what kitcars are like!

 

cheers

cheers guys I ordered off burton I find them much easier to deal with and delivery is next day. £41 inc vat for the hoses but needed some gaskets too.

 

just went for the sierra 4 line kit.

Hi just seen your post, go for made to measure hoses, i got a set of sierra goodridge hoses but the rears were too short? ended up going to my local goodridge shop to have them made up.

its just a sierra rear end tho with the sierra rubber hoses on already - can they really be different?

[Guest peter2b2002]

just the rear hoses don't know why but the were about 1" too short, i may have been the wrong kit they gave me

went to fit the goodridge hoses yesterday. guess what too short rears might be ok but the fronts could do with 2" more length on them

 

looks like custom jobbies then. Any suggestions? I live in NI so not able to travel to a place.

I used the Goodrige kit part no-SFD032-4P , the fronts approx 13 1/2"back nut to back nut and the rears 11 1/2" , the fronts where a great fit , the rears not fitted as yet due to the brakes being spot on now .

Rally Design....they supply Euroquip or Goodridge. Euroquip slightly cheaper, but just as good and re-usable fittings

Several have gone the 'made to measure by my own fair hand' route, which should give a reasonable chance of getting them the correct length, by using euroquip hose and re-usable fittings from Rally Design here. I did and have been happy with them. For simpler option I would ring Rally Design and get them to do custom Goodrich hoses to your spec. They have always been helpful and knowledgeable over the phone in my experience.

 

Either way use the hoses you have as a template. Check the ends are all correct fittings, length of thread for front calipers and front bulkhead fitting, convex or concave sealing surfaces and lengths to allow full lock.

Loking at the rally design website I notice they don't differentiate between rear disc or drum Sierras, are they the same fittings? They do a Cossie kit which is a 6 line kit, any ideas what the extra two are, wouldn't that be for a Tyrell Sierra? I'm pretty sure a Sierra kit would be OK for my car as I remember using Sierra rubber flexies when I built it.

Pablo-I think the Ebay ones are the same as the Euroquip ones people have mentioned earlier-they seem to work fine, so should be OK, but I'm shying away from them in favour of ready made ones. I also have heard the Reusable Fitting ones are not SVA compliant, although I guess that's not a concern for you.
