Just out of curiosity why have people no interest in fitting the oe style rubber hose that has the correct square ending banjo.

No issue with the OE hoses, but they tend to bulge a bit under pressure and most prefer to upgrade to braided hoses, which give a more consistent pedal feel and (maybe, but how do you measure it?) improved braking performance. Be aware that the braided hoses still use a rubber core, which can perish and split and is much harder to check than the OE ones.

Im going for the hel two front hoses.

I noticed it says on Hel 92 - 98 - thought that was odd - yours look correct there dated from 95.

Visually the pic looks to be correct, also list two bolt sizes f10 x 1 (f being fine thread) and 10 (standard metric thread), which also is correct as previously mentioned two types of thread sizes for 288mm calipers

The only thing it dont have is the bolts and copper washers.  The febi set does though.

It mentions 2 thread sizes, so I'd be surprised if they don't come complete ready to fit?

Ok I have this in the basket going off etka Mk3 288 mm VR 

Brake pads Brembo

Hope these Mk3 oe numbers above are a direct fit to the rado. can see why not as they use the same bearing carriers i think. 

 

[Dox 22]

Hold this thought, if you chose MK4 disks and used 6mm spacers to centre the calliper over the disk you'll gain 6mm extra wheel clearance?

[Cressa 43]

If you choose the mk3 route , it does all fit

[Keyo 47]

Interestingly you can  buy x2 callipers ATE 288 mm  refurbished (come with new springs to )  for both £134.00  or TRW for similar price. Free postage  (100 if you can be arsed to post your old ones to them )

Two (new) ATE carrier £ 88.00 both  

Slider kit and bolts both £6.00 

So its the same price as sending them to Big Redd but the carriers are new- seems pointless buying a second hand set for £50.00 + refurb Big Redd £185.00 (no springs)+ postage

Might just go with that instead to be honest seems lot less hassle.  Autodoc sell all the above. Free postage.

Or you could refurb them yourself. Its a nice satisfying little project and won't cost more than new seals and,  if required, new pistons & slider pins and paint in your choice of colour

That is true Fla- I will be sending mine off to big redd but they look so damn god crusty and just wondering what proceess they use to kill the rust - Im mean the other way you get brand new ate carriers- the one bonus from Big Redd is they will come in my chosen colour red- as you say though no big deal painting some fresh silver ones red.  However I have to deal with a breaker and pay postage for carriers and callipers - old carriers not nrew and will be £40.00 worse off- autodoc is the best solution if you dont own a set of 288 mm and dont have the means to diy refurb and strip the callipers and treat crusty metal.

Does seem mad to send them off to Big Redd at those prices. I would refurb them myself however you'd need an air compressor to push the piston out but the rest is just changing over parts.

Most rust will come off with a wire bursh and you can use a dremmel or die grinder with air compresser to do the hard to reach bits. 

[Cressa 43]

I took mine apart and blocked the bleed and hose off with bolts. I think I removed the piston dust seal and took it my local powder coater. Popped the piston out after or maybe the powder coater did!!! 

[Dox 22]

You can blow the pistons out with a tyre compressor or foot pump.

 

idea for electrolysis rust removal?
