283 mm disc conversion brake lines

[AstwickMotors]

Hi all, just changed the discs/ calipers for the 888/887 and 283 mm disc conversion. Last job is to change all the lines for braided parts and bleed with new fluid.

Question is will standard griffith lines from ebay (Hel or Goodridge) fit onto these calipers?

Thanks

Yep, bought standard Goodridge lines - fitted on 888/887 without issues.

Those calipers were never fitted to any Sierra but Cosworth Granny and 24V Mondeo sourced and standard lines fit this convesion pefect

Anyone know if the later 27 and 28 casting numbered calipers are identical to the 888 and 887 ones?
