312 conversion question.

[Bs6VR6 10]

Hi all,

 

Quick question, I've read through almost the entire dedicated thread and whilst this question was asked within, it never got answered so thought Id ask it here in the hope of getting a concrete answer. Basically already had the six hose set on the car originally, just finished the rear set up with new mk2-mk4 converters, but as I have now upgraded the fronts to 312 TT brakes I obviously need the front banjo fitment hose. Question is this, is it possible to fit a converter on the end of my existing Goodridge hose to convert it from screw in type (original) to the new banjo fitting? Save me a nice wedge and as they are only about a year old I'm a bit annoyed I now have to replace them. Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of a fitting being used, you could try an hydraulic specialist for a banjo to 10mm x 1mm femail thread?

 

You'd need to thoroughly check for contact / snagging / pinching etc once fitted

 

Is it worth the aggro?

Lol, no, probably not, just seems to be constantly 2 steps forward and 1 back. I assume if I contact goodridge direct they do the front hoses seperatly as I can only seem to find the mk3 golf 6 piece set. guess its time to stop moaning and get the wallet out again!

C&R enterprises do the kits and pretty sure they sell the front hoses separately too. Worth giving them a call as their website is poo since its been updated.
