Fitting braided brake lines, quick question..

[pistol pete]

Half way through fitting my new suspension ARBs and brake lines

what have people done at this point? to secure the pipe? or have people just left it
as my old pipe was part of the bracket (rev 5)

I am going to make something up at work to hold it in location, as i don't like it floating, just wondered what others done

also i have coilovers with no place to secure the brake line again what have others done?

cheers

That is what you get from buying cheap crap.

The Goodridge lines have all the stock brackets so all just fit back it place of the stock lines.

The HSD's don't have the bracket for the brake flexi. The only thing you can really do is cable tie it into position like you have done, that's what I did for mine.

thanks for the oh so helpful reply
They were not cheap.. HEL lines, always told as good as goodridge and not much difference in price

Ahh some one with helpful advice.. cool thanks buddy ill double cable tie to make sure

and ill make some brackets up for the other section

See where the bracket is where the flexi meets the hard pipe? Needs some support there methinks. Shouldn't take too long to bend up a bracket, find and slit a suitable grommet, cunning use of sikaflex to fix grommet to bracket, paint and fit.

I buy quite a lot of HEL stuff, but the Goodridge stuff for the Mk2 is simply in a different league.

[pistol pete]

Fair enough.. Cheers..
Yeah sort of thing I was think make a bracket out of ally today at work..

What difference will the goodridge make? I am happy to admit they are better as they are normally the ones I use. Just though try something different.. Is it just they have the brackets?

Bob is right, even if he was straight to the point

should have gone for goodridge then all the brackets would be present just like OEM

Pretty much just that. On just about anything else I'd choose HEL on price.

Goodridge brakelines over HEL, the only braided lines with MR2 specific brackets.

So they fit. And they're guranteed for life. And i know which country they're made in.

Reminds me of...

Probably your best bet! It'd fail MOT if it wasn't secured. I should know, mine did!

[pistol pete]

cool.. ill order up some goodridge ones then.. make sure all is okay..

wanted to ask to see what peoples experiance was with them

still best way to secure to the coilovers?

If I was an MOT tester I would fail any brake line held in place with a cable tie, that is a very poor and dangerous way to secure anything.

[pistol pete]

thats why i am trying to find a better way of doing it.. so instead of pointing it out saying its wrong
could you please suggest a method of overcoming this?

goodridge hoses on order will be with me friday
Ill stick with what i know next time as always ordered them before..

but still asking how to put to the coilover?

thanks

Back to goodridge it is

[craig]

Out of interest, if you've had goodridge lines before, why did you go for hel lines? Plenty of threads on here would have revealed they don't have the mr2 fixing brackets.

[pistol pete]

don't really know to be honest.. heard good reviews else where about HEL, never looked them up on here before purchase.. ah well live and learn


I have goodridge on the ST

still dont know what to do about coilover mounting though?? peter what do you do?
cheers

All good coilovers that I have seen come with the brake hose mounting brakets just the same as the stock ones or a bolt on braket on cheaper makes

The goodridge warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on !!!!
And the quality isn't as good as people bang on about,

The welds on the rear brackets are terrible quality

I had a brand new set fail on my n/s/r and I'm still battling with k300 over warranty to the point I've bought another set from a trader on here,
