those with braided hoses

[johnny_adidas]

did you keep the equalising cylinder when you changed your hoses? pic on this thread, but i found out in the meantime that this is what it was?

[ealex]

if you're talking about the valves that limit the break pressure to the rear wheels, they have to stay, otherwise you will experience handbrake stopping power from the pedal

[johnny_adidas]

how do i disconnect the cylinder from the hoses if you can remember. (thanks for replying, was getting worried no-one had a clue what i was on about.) do i just try to loosen that 16 or 17mm bolt?

[johnny_adidas]

pic would help wudnt it

That's the expensive little b*ggers that I had to get one replaced for the MOT.
somethinglike £50 a pair and only available in pairs or something daft like that.
grrrr

[johnny_adidas]

ya found that out this morning. two types. one are 75 euro and the other type are 225 euro. so if they cant be sorted, braided hoses are coming back off.

[johnny_adidas]

all sorted at dinner time. will add this little bit into my how to (once i get around to them) just in case anyone else is as dopey as me.

You will have tolet us know wif they feel any different mate. That reminds me I still got mine to fit!

[johnny_adidas]

well they better feel different now. just replaced the hoses, fluid, pads, discs and handbrake shoes. [img]/wink.gif[/img] prob break my neck the first time i hit the pedal (esp compared to what i had before) (was gona to change everything except the hoses to compare the difference but got lazy and didnt wana have to jack everything up again)

[johnny_adidas]

oh and as i was saying to slugger, i got my goodridge ones from <a href="http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalo...products_id=395" target="_blank">http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalo...products_id=395</a> for £30.50 which seems a bargain

received them in no time and they definitely fit a 93 16v (as i know there have been a few threads saying people had issues with certain models)

[slugger_2003]

I may be able to tell you lot if it fits a 94 16v redtop, depends if I go for the brake upgrade I'm currently looking at...golf vr6 280mm discs and calipers with green stuff pads...sounds good to me. What ya's think?

[johnny_adidas]

if they fit my redtop they will fit yours. mine is a late 93. i think all 16v callys have the same brake setup but it should def fit yours anyway

[tobys73]

were these on the rear as i've only done the fronts and didnt have them still to look at the rear

[johnny_adidas]

this set is both back and front hoses (that what you mean)

Will They Do A 94 Ecotec?
