Brake Flexis
I am looking for a bit of straightforward, simple advice here. I want/need to know which (if any) standard brake flexis will fit my car. I have a
standard chassis size (i.e. book) and am using MK5 Cortina uprights and brakes.
I know there was a recent thread about this, but i am not really interested in making up 'one-off' flexis. Surely there must be a standard
road car that has flexis of suitable length and design?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.

I asked the exact question about a fortnight ago, lots of differing opinions, but I bought a capri set of euroquips for £18.50, they are premade and
exactly perfect for what I am doing.
3 hoses, bulkhead fittings on all ends, nuts and washers included, all the right length, came next day, cheaper than fat rubbery ones.
Anything else you want to know?

Hi,
If it's any help I'v just got some Goodridge hoses to fit Mk 3/5 Cortina.
They are 520mm total length with 22mm long M10x1 male thread both ends.

I've had a couple of U2U's asking for photo's of the flexies - how did they know I would have a picture!!

I am just over the 1000 now, brilliant for planning stuff or checking clearances when planning at home

Thanks Mark, I think They may be what I need too.
May I suggest that if anyone has bought car specific hoses they post details of lengths and end fittings. I bet that would help loads of people over
time.
Having read earlier threads, I have to say I've now got photo envy. Less than 200 here.
