Can you please provide a bit more detail? * What car is it for? * Which calipers are you using? * Do you know how much longer the lines need to be? I'm sure you'll get some good responses if people have some detail about what you're asking. HEL lines are very good, the fittings are some of the best you can buy, etc
Earls hoses banjo or screw in caliper end (brembo fitting is m10 X 1 for example) and female car end (m10 x 1 iirc). If using earls just say e.g volvo 850 1996 to what ever caliper you have and the length required.
Sorry about the lack of info there..its for a 850 t5 with wilwood 6 pots on a 302mm disc.I have spoken with Hel and they can do me the hoses to whatever length i want.I think as they are 302s should be the same length i have on at the moment. cheers

The HEL part number should be VOL-183 (maybe with an 'F' suffix for fronts only).
Thanks for the part number really appreciate it.I will crack on with seeing what size hoses i will need. cheers for the help:)
6 pots on 302's???? Post some pictures up when your done :)
Lol yep thought try em out..wilwoods dynapro 6 they are suited for disc size along them lines and since they use them on the big old heavey american muscle cars i thought why not..its trial and error...heres a pic of them after being painted..[ATTACH=CONFIG]28694[/ATTACH]
Does anyone know what length brake hose to order for the fronts of a V70r (p1) if using a 320mm disc and Renault Brembos ?
Not sure if this is helpful or not - For the 320mm S40/V50 T5 AWD (and LS-LV Focus ST) calipers and rotors to go on a 1997-2000 850/x70, we use the same line for the 302mm brakes.
Thanks Ash, I've already got the standard lines for the 302mm set up, but I didn't want to start swapping the brakes over only to find I need longer hoses. I'll report back in due course!
