AP Calipers on e46 M3 - Non-standard hoses?

[Jake.]

I've bought a set of used AP Racing calipers from a fellow PH member. They didn't come with any hoses. I've just tried to order some Goodridge hoses from Thorney Motorsport but the guy there says he thinks the APs use a different fitting (Banjo fitting to the AP caliper rather than screw-in to the stock ones)

Anyone know if that's right?

If so, where can I order the right hoses from without having to wait ages for them to made up?


(I'm at work at the mo so can't examine the calipers to see myself)


Thanks.

OK then. Any suggestions where I might find out this info? Seems the only decent M3 technical forum has disappeared.

How about contacting AP? I'm 99% sure the hoses are different and as you correctly state are a banjo fitting at the caliper end

AP tend to use a Banjo fitment. AP would be my first port of call.

Contacting them is easier said than done. I can't find a direct phone number for them in the UK and the three AP dealers I've spoken to this morning have all said they didn't know but would find out and call me back. Obviously none of them actually have called back.
