Title: brake lines
Post by scorpio_man on Apr 21^st, 2006, 3:28pm

hi there

does anyone know if the brake lines are the same for a granada and a scorpio? granada kits have 6 lines in them :-/

i'm trying to get a Braided Brake Hose Kit for my 2.3 16 valve estate (vented rear discs).

cheers

scorpio has 6 flex hose's andrew.cannot see them being any different from the granada,if in doubt measure them check fittings m/f,most company's will make a set up for you.bit of a pain if you have to do any thing to the brakes though as you can't clamp them off,not much difference when fitted as appossed to a new set of rubber one's in my opinion.que the you get a better pedal brigade etc i say it's a fad like drilled disc's buy a nova :P(they should work out cheaper though ;D) stan

Andrew you can get kits from specialist suppliers like Demon Tweeks to make your own up, We do for the cars we run. Never had any problems doing it ourselves
