Dave222 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I am in the process of upgrading to Uk spec brakes including braided hoses. I have purchased a set of Goodridge hoses but when I tried to fit the rear ones tonight the plain end section on the fixed pipes nut appears to be too big to fit into the new hose. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is it feasible to file (very gently) the non threaded part to get it to fit. Any help will be much appreciated. Dave.

Yes it is a tight fit but it does actually fit. You just have to take your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave222 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Thanks for that very quick reply. By the way I would like to take this opprtunity to thank you for the excellent service you provide on parts. I've recently ordered Fluidyne radiator and a set of coil pack connectors both of which arrived in less than 3 days. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Thanks very much for the kind words. 3 Days is actually a bit longer than we try for nowadays unless its over a weekend. Hope you like the Fludyne, great bits of kit arn't they! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The flare on the pipe expands the fitting when Toyota over torque the things, file the plain bit of the fitting on the hard pipe(s) down a tad, keeping it round, clear off any swarf and Bob is your uncle.

Guest mk47 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 oh dave just some advice if youve never done it before make sure that they are routed correctly, as i had a bad experience with a fool who didnt route them right and they were rubbing against the lip of my wheel, and eventually the wheel cut through the hose - NOT GOOD!
