BEING SCREW FOR HAVING A V8

[superwedge]

just got a set goodridge braided brake set for the wedge, prices are all over the place, if look for 350i set they want from 65 to 105 pounds a set , but if drive v6 there are just 42.21 a set and are the same as a V8 its just not fair, for having the best sounding car in the world

You'll love them so much you'll forget all about this insane price gap! It's true though weird thing this.

Reminds me of when i was looking for a replacement set of original indicator stalks..For classic mini..45 smackers + vat each side..Triumph 35 + Vat each side..Stag 133 + Vat each side..They are all the same!!..I suppose its a bit like the TVR tax in certain shops..I tend to by-pass them.

Are the hoses seriously the same for the 280i and 350i ?

[superwedge]

Zig,

Indicator stalks - as far as I know the later Triumph/Leyland ones are all the same - Triumph Saloon/Stag/Dolomite/Spitfire and some TR7/Mini/Marina/Allegro as well ....

The buggers at BL always used to charge different prices according to model and had different part numbers for same item (across LOTS of parts), which I always thought was price gouging of the worst kind.

Triumph Sports Six club used to do a "Common Parts" catalogue which showed the cheapest option for identical parts across models. I remeber that a Vitesse engine mount was HALF the price of a TR6 one, and they were/are IDENTICAL.

I don't think Ford UK did that trick (or not often), as they had common part numbers across several models.
