Before I start emailing the such likes of Hel & Goodridge etc has anyone had any braided brake lines specifically made to length with the desired end fittings if so where ?

Thanks in advance.

Look for Galfer retailer/workshop nearby, they make custom lines for everything, but expect higher prices than the abovementioned.
Cheers.

I did the templates for think auto, and the test fitting - they are the correct length, and avoid flexing where the hose meets the fittings - which was responsible for the goodridge lines exploding (and resulting in no brakes).

I've not seen the HEL ones, but for the above reason I would go with think auto

click to enlarge Here's a picture of one of suba's little fellows with my heath-robinson hoses to protect from rubbing on the inner wing and to hold it loosely to the strut (FK coilover in this case). Truly fit and forget, cheers Si wink (I did have the full set of Goodridge hoses before, but not on the front any more)

Do they have the same fitting as the ones in Dave's photo as they meet the caliper? It is there for a reason..... smile
