So, having finally got a day to faff with car when its not raining!
fitting the new brake hoses to the front of the car, i tried the drivers side first, which went ok
although the hose did seem a bit tight lock to lock
Left lock
Centered
Right lock
checking the new hoses against the old, there is maybe 2mm difference in length at the most, so shouldnt be an issue
Passenger side was much more awkward and fit looks positively wrong to me
Right lock
Centered
Left lock!!
Now, i appreciate the suspension is hanging, so the hose will be stretched out more than normal,
but it just looks so wrong, and much tighter than the drivers side
The kit has four hoses, two of which are shorter for the back brakes, ive checked and rechecked
and then checked again, and im definitely using the longer ones
