Brake hoses

Post by HAIRIBO »

:scratch Whats the difference in the brake hoses from the v6 and the rest of the FWD cars?

As I'm seeing a differnet part number.

When I converted my 2.016v to using vectra calipers my standard hoses worked.

I I used cavalier v6/turbo calipers are th hoses different?

I currenlty doing a conversion on my Diesel. 95 spec rear discs and turbo/v6 fronts.

so what do I do about the hoses????? :scratch

You need to make new brake lines from the flexi to the caliper anyway so it really doesn't matter at all.

The braided type I've gotten come as a female/female fitting hose! But it comes with an adaptor to make one end male.
