EBC do some useful grades, depending on your ap'. You could try the Fish as well, Roger stocks good after maket pads.

No one seems keen on the braided though, except for me, that is. There are some Australians that do the brake line kits, just have to find the right thread Bob.

I got my braided lines from a local motorcycle dealer

Gareth, sorry re the braided hoses, was getting them made for you as a favour to me (I teach his kids Trials riding) he was messing me about a bit, turns out he`s had a nervous breakdown.

I don`t want you blaming yourself mate its not really your fault

Did buy a set from Regal Motorsport in Southampton for the Astra recently if that helps.

I asked Roger about these as I was going to get them but it seems like no one does a good kit for the monaros with the correct retaining clip to keep them out the way and not eat though stuff.

There are come DIY jobs around where you have to cut the pipes and bits to the right lenghs but seems more hassle than its worth TBH

Let me know if you have any better luck finding a kit though

No problem mate, I was only expecting a phone number. It's not a matter of life and death, I will get them done but that's well down my priority list at present, having just ordered my top end stuff, I will be busy in a couple of weeks.
