    braided hoses for porsche brakes

    Does anybody know which braided lines i could use on the common 4pot porsche brake conversion. The reason being, i will be able to move the caliper out of the way when carrying out any work as opposed to the metal pipe which would need removing.
    Thanks for any help!!

      I did mine like this. The hose from arch to strut is part of a generic kit (Earls i think). The hose from strut to caliper I had made up at Merlin motorsport.

                        Personally, I don't like Banjo fittings on calipers - you tend to need to over tighten them and they are easy to strip the threads in the caliper. Also if you notice, the fitting boss on the caliper is often pitted, meaning they don't seal very well.
                        If its not too late to change, i'd use a male swivel fitting direct in the caliper. Just my 2c.
