Goodridge Brake Hoses
Hi All,
has anyone fitted a Goodridge Brake hose kit to a ZT 190? They only list one kit (KCB-35-568-4) for all ZT /ZT-Ts but I understand that there is a difference between the standard set of MGR hose and those fitted to the ZT 190's front discs, which I'm planning to fit. So: What exactly is the difference between the ZT 190's & other front hoses? Does anyone know whether the Goodridge kit fits? Regards, Kearton |

Apparently the 190 hoses are longer, as with the larger discs the calipers end up being slightly further away.

I bought a pair of these years ago and although advertised for the cars had completely the wrong connections. I don't know if the company ever sorted it.

They're cheap enough to have made up specifically for the car.
I had a pair made for my toy car by a regular on another forum, cheaper than off the shelf items. I've just checked his website and he charges £15 each with the more expensive stainless fittings, a bit more if they're over 400mm long. You even get a choice of colours http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ The Goodridge site isn't very clear, it says £128 and doesn't say how many you get, I know there will be one for each wheel but are there anymore ? My toy car has another to connect to the hard lines on the axle. The goodridge ones seem a bit overpriced ?

Also, from the posts here and on another brake related thread, there seems to be a disagreement as to whether the 190's front hoses are longer or shorter than the standard ones. Regards, Kearton |
