V70R braided brake hoses

**MisterC1501** · Friday 3rd July 2009, 14:14

Anyone with a V70R (not the AWD) that has braided brake hoses fitted? I have been trying to locate a kit (front & rear) but have been told my model is not available.

Likewise, anyone know of a supplier who can make these up (North West area)

Muchas

As a little bit of extra information, it was actually PFV who supplied all the measurements to Goodrich in the first place to get these kits made up.

Thanks

I tried ebay sellers ages ago, to be told that there is not a kit for the 302mm front disc.

Someone prove them wrong

No, but you'll see it saying either 15" or 16" wheels - 16" wheels = 302mm discs

Why not just order from PFV?

Not exactly right........not all cars with 16" wheels have 302mm front discs. My V70R has, but that has 17" wheels.

There is no point ordering something only to find out that it is not correct

The Goodridge kits , for example, on ebay, cannot confirm fitment to my car.

Has anyone bought a kit for the 302mm front discs and if so, what was the kit part number..........simples.......

I'm not sure whats so difficult to understand about this.

The kits marked '16" wheels' are the longer hoses more suited to the 302 disc setup. Simples....

850's only came with either 280 or 302's, as there is no chance of 302's fitting behind 15's i assume that refers to the 280's, & the 16's to the 302's. I'm guessing they had an ex-cop 850 with with the 16" Perfo's & 302's to get the measurements off

Have managed to find a manufacturer of steel braided brake hoses specifically for my car. These are made by Black Diamond and below is a linky of there kit lists;

Ordered these today from Demon Tweeks, who I found to be the cheapest. Heres the linky for these;

I'll let you know if these are right when I receive them. No point guesssing if the Goodridge 16+ wheels kit fits or not........
