BGomes Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Mine's a 1995 Five door Si. I've sourced an RS2000 beam and will be cleaning it up to fit into the car. There seems to be no clarity as to which brake hoses and handbrake to use for this conversion. I presume I source Rs2000 brake hoses for it, to mate with the original metal pipes on the bodyshell. What about the handbrake cable? Is it the same? According to one dealer there are two different sizes, I presume the 5 door has a longer one, but it could simply be differently routed.... Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 the two different handbrakes will be one for drums and the one for discs, you need a mk5 rs2000 handbrake cable and mk5 rs2000 rear brake lineshope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsescort Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Thought it was a mk6 rs2000 handbrake cable you need, as the mk5a one has the half moon on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
