Purchase these,once they have been done you wont have this problem again a good independant garage could fit all four for about £80+VAT and brakefluid and you will have an improved brake pedal feel http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-Chimera-Goodridge-Braide...

R.T. Racing in Sheffield do a full set, fronts & rears, for chims, got some last year but can't remember the cost. On my receipt it says £101 but that was with a ball joint.

madmax, did you order them for the chim or manage to match to a ford part? I tried cortina Mk5 as suggested on the thread I mentioned above but they don't fit, worse luck. Unless I can find a matching part I'll have to go goodridge or euroquip at several times the price....

I replaced all hoses on my V8S and the front hoses used were TR7/TR8 they come with the metal spring type covering to protect from stoneships and I think they were a tenner each, standard black variety not braided. I got them from http://www.brakeparts.co.uk ring them the guy I spoke to was called Mitch he was very helpful.

Not sure if the Chim pipes are the same but if not get the spec and give Mitch a call, he'll find something that fits.

ETA: Here's the link to the thread with the pipe spec, & pic below
