brake hose kits

[The Hatter]

I just got a kit of Goodrich hoses; two fronts and two rears. It amused me; you only need one rear...

They all seem to be the correct fittings, I guess when specifying the kit they never looked under the back of an actual car!

For the spare parts collection then

Couple of years ago went out for just the one at the back and it was difficult to get the right length locally.
Ended up with a special order of a standard non-braided one delivered the next day, but it will be fine for another 20 years.

hi superwedge here,going to change my soon on the 350i, been looking the at price;s for them some 100 pounds some 80 pounds, but if you buy the tasmin one which should be the same as v8 , you only get three hoses, for 42 pounds , they are screwing us for saying i have a v8

Errh how does that work? Goodridge is quality brake stuff though, you'll notice the better response and less soggy braking!

All the different suppliers and mis-information about the kits confused me. I got mine off ebay from a place near Leatherhead; STV0600-4P. BMH seemed to be selling stainless kits quite cheap but their website was confusing re Tasmin/350i/420 etc so I wasn't sure If I'd be getting the right stuff. The rear's OK; I haven't checked the fronts for fit yet though, so I'm not certain it's right. The fronts do have a different thread which wouldn't surprise me from the Jag/Ford difference.
