Brake hoses CV8 VZ

[mfp4073]

Due to the fact I can't grovel underneath my car at the moment I have a few questions on the rubber brake hoses front and rear.
what length are they front (both sides) and rear (both sides) and what is the thread size/type? I take it that there is only the four hoses and nothing hidden anywhere else?
If I remove the hoses is there anything you can get to stop the fluid seeping out? I think the car will be like that for a week or so.


Thanks again John

You will notice the difference! No rubber balloons to blow up.

I have checked out some braded hoses for the pontiac GTO, they do come as a set of six together with fitting brackets for the front. I wouild have thought they would fit our Monaros Ok? Surely the hose size and thread type would be the same? any comments?

i would say sending mym8v8 an email, he has a set from the states, they look very good i think they are a set of 6. They do have brackets and they were not alot of money even if you import over and pay custom, VAT and everything
