Caliper change
Discussion
Hoping to fit my brake upgrade tomorrow, 888/887 calipers etc. as well as removing the shocks for servicing.
Just wondered what the normal method is for preventing brake fluid leaking out when disconnecting the brake hoses. Can braided hoses be clamped or can some sort of blank connector or plug be used?

late start this morning, after too much red wine last night, but have the old brakes off and the new discs / calipers trial fitted. Haven't disconnected the brake hoses from the old calipers yet though. Just off to get dome extra brake fluid and a bleeding kit.
bit of a bonus is that I didn't need to drill out the holes for the carrier bolts as they were alrerady the correct size. presume then that its just the earlier cars that have the smaller bolts?

Bought a complete kit from hansdal, advertised in the classifieds. Went this route as all the reconditioned calipers on Ebay didn't come with the carriers and I couldn't source the carriers separately. Also wasn't keen on grinding away some of the carrier to accommodate the 283mm discs, which I beleive still need a spacer
Kit included:
888/887 calipers
carriers
278mm discs
pads
spacers and bolts
