Default 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.

Thanks. Any Idea how much longer?

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

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 ?

Thanks very much for the link. Definitely worth a look. The Goodridge price is for a set of 4, but it is vague about which models they will fit. I'm awaiting an answer to my query.

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.
