ok,braided brake lines.......
When you fit them is it a case of just undoing the rubber brake line
off the calliper and attaching the new braided line to the calliper and the other end to the rubber brake line???
Do they all fit together with no problems or not??
I know you have bleed the brakes but is the above correct??
Cheers,
Andy.

You should replace the rubber with the braided ones and I would change the brake fluid at the same, maybe with DOT5 or 5.1

When i changed mine, I drained the whole system, Took ages to bleed, bought a kit
You run of your spare tyre just a case of topping up and waiting the lazy way, but
the easy way.....never had brakes so good...

Why??????

I found just trying to get the right ones for my v6 impossible.

the existing connector has some kind of adapter on it - that just doesn't come with any braided ones you buy as replacements.

I just have braided on the front.

I have the same prob as widget.

the rear original hose has some weird adaptor on it (pump side) and i cannot be bothered with the greef of fitting them at the moment.

am just thinking that when I have the pipes replaced - I'll make the new braided hoses fit then.

The rears require an adapter as its either two females or two males you are left with to put together. I belive black diamond do the adapter but you need to know to ask for it as it does not come as standard in the kits. Someone on here was doing a deal on kits a few weeks back in the trade iirc possible username robrcs
