DaweV6 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It's all about the bolt fixture. ST's will do you fine, or just get escort ones and longer banjoo bolt. I had goodridge MkI ST24 on a Mondi and I sold them on... Looked very flimsy and untrustworthy, so I decided to make my own braided items from standard fittings. Anybody got good experience with Goodridge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have currently Goodridge ones, and happy, although rs2k fitment! Could you explain more about bolt fitment please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaweV6 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have currently Goodridge ones, and happy, although rs2k fitment! Could you explain more about bolt fitment please Well you can try keeping the same hoses with at least 15 mm longer banjoo caliper bolt. Try local motor factors - especially race and rally prep places have a lot different fitments - M10 x 1.5 is most common IIRC. And new copper washers. TOP GEAR ! /log out !

Stu Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Stu? No idea, i'd take both types of hose to a hydraulic hose maker and get some custom ones made up. I have in the past doubled up on copper washers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
