Escort Rs 2000 1994 (Mk4?) brakes

Sure we must have some Ford "buffs" on here!
Does anyone happen to know if the flexy brake hoses on the above RS2000 with ABS are the same as on non ABS cars & the same as any other MK4 Escort with discs - which would be what models?
I've been asked to make some hoses up & there is no catalog listing for the RS2000 with ABS.





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

The hoses are the same, all ABS does is control brake aplication/pressure, apart from that the system, (hydraulic), is the same. Cheers Ray

They might be the same in this case (I don't know), but this is definitely not true for all cars!

Fords "usualy" keep to the same hoses, (being an accountant run company,). Never yet seen a Ford that comes in standard and ABS form that used differing hoses. Can always be proved wrong though< Cheers Ray
