Chim rear disc's

Picked these up on fleabay for what I thought was a snip.
Hopefully they'll go on my S3 without too much of a fight ?



S4 V8 handbrake cable and flexi-brake pipes ?

Flexi rears are sierra / granada items, they cost the best part of sod all.

Old post I did is here.

Beware of the rear hoses - the flexi TVR used from the centre of the car to the trailing arm has imperial fittings - so the existing rigid pipe on the trailing arm is imperial ot one end, and possible metric at the other, though both imperial and metric cylinders have been seen at the drums.

I replaced all my pipes with metric, and to be honest it doesn't cost a fortune, though it will be bloody awkward with the body on.

The existing brass nuts should have little cuts on the corners of the nut to indicate its metric - plain is imperial - again this isn't infallible.


Good Luck!

Thanks for tip, but flexi's were changed for Goodridge earlier this year so think I'm now all metric !
Would like to use same to the calipers, guess will need to make a little bracket to hold other end and short metal pipe on suspension arm between flexi's ?
