haha, looks like i'll be re-doing the entire lot on the back end!! not going to be so easy now the exhaust is in....*sigh*

it needs to be secured at the fitting mate

[willg54]

mot regs say solid lines must be "securely held and not free to vibrate." so yea...i think depending on your interpretation, it could be a fail. but the clip holding the line on is only about 1-2" inboard so very secure

[willg54]

What paint did you use on the calipers?

they're powdercoated

[willg54]

AFAIK that is a MOT failure on the rear brake lines mate, I think the hardline must be secured at the end, or the movement of the hub/caliper with fatigue the hardline.

i thought it could be, will have to double check. just means i'll have to order all 4 ss lines again dont think they'll be refundable

Looking very nice and tidy there Will

Time for a bit of an update!!

rear calipers are all on i made a big error when ordering the braided lines and got the wrong fittings so I couldn't use the OEM routing but it's working out fine. Just cant bodge it on the front so will have to reorder new lines :bang: not happy!









now just need to get the fronts done and i'll be a drivable car!!!

Thats good to know ..... Noah & the whale are playing at the Manchester Apollo

who said rebuilding rear calipers was hard?!

The tool i made, made the job a doddle Just need some brake fluid before I put the pistons back in!

Well seeing as the van uis a 2.5tdi I was wondering if you would be able to check on something under the front for me??? Its a wire on the plugs for the injector sensor. Would inivolve getting underneath the van and taking off the belly pan if you wouldnt mind??? If not no worries.
