Ready to start making new brake pipes. Can anyone tell me what car the front and rear flexible brake hoses are from?
Thanks

Unless you want "originality" (rubber hoses) I'd speak to these people Stevsons, really know their stuff and you'll get the correct six hose set.

But you may want to get rid of that horrible little metal pipe at the front and run a single long flex from chassis to caliper?

Brake pipes discussed quite a lot here

I purchased these and so far they seem very good and fitted easily, just haven't got round to trying them out properly yet.

Goodridge make sets for all the S Series but you will get mixture of metric and imperial, I believe that you can speak to them directly and get a fully metric set made up. If you still have the old ones then I guess that you could give the specifications to a different brake specialist and they would be able to source them for you.

Edited as I cant seem to link to the proper sites
