Ive used Paul Sims quite often, i usually call in at his place in Cheshire so i can cherry pick out the selection of spares he has, good fella and does a good deal too

P.S. Fitted a decent 2nd hand gear gaitor cover courtesy of Paul Sims :thumleft: and have since made my own stripes for the rear quarter panels :wink: pics to follow once ive finished the stripes :) Oh and the pics of the lights are to show the high intensity Halfords bulbs on headlights and side li...

Update - ive cleaned the inside and outside of the car to an immaculate state after i fitted the new discs front & rear and the Black Diamond Predator brake pads all round - i have to say with the new wheels and brake setup its a more comfortable & confident ride :D Fixed the dodgy wiring fo...

Decided to not to fit the braided brake hoses and returned the adapters.

The standard hoses were in really good condition, so were the hard lines & unions, wasnt worth replacing them in my opinion.

So ill have the hoses up for grabs on the for sale section soon

P.S. Thanks for the help and advice guys

Peter my alternative was to have new copper hard lines made up with fully threaded unions, can you explain your solution or put a pic up cos im not sure what you mean? Sorry, having a brain dead day

Peter,

Sorry to sound daft but this is new to me - is it the case that both threads (1 on the hose and the 1 on the union) are metric but one end of the adapter I've bought isn't?

Dave,

The hose is supposedly goodridge

The part picture from suppliers website shown in the first 2 pics above

Results below, not fully tightened but fit fine hand tight :D http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/seankenyon/WP_000674.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/seankenyon/WP_000671.jpg The problem - short thread on the union and shallow female connection on the braided hose http://i22.photobuck...

ah right cheers Paul ill be gutted if they don't fit

The braided hoses I've got have M10 female connectors, but the bore isn't deep enough or the union isn't threaded enough, either way I ordered the adapters to avoid replacing the hard lines, I'll report with photos when they arrive later this week

Sorted see link for those having the same issues but without having to replace the hard lines and unions:

Hi everyone, Ive come to fit some used goodrich braided brake hoses to my 85 Mk1a and ive come across the issue where the union on the hard brake line isnt fully threaded... Instead of ripping out all the hard lines just to replace the unions is there a male to female adapter that i can use? If so w...

Thanks guys do you mean these

Anyone know of a solution that would help me to use my fensport uprated springs but maintain standard ride height

Ive seen various poly spring spacers but its finding the right shape and diameter so i thought id quiz the experts

Thanks guys

Update - removed the airbox so now its just the K&N, fitted the Woodsport Strut brace now ive painted it black, sorry the pic quality is poor - taken with my phone: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/seankenyon/WP_000524.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/seankenyon/WP_000525.jpg Nex...

I like its simplicity

Its definately solid because its a bit weighty, but all the more better The strut tower fittings are in very good condition though and look real solid!
