Brake Hoses... again

[blues3]

Simple question really.
I take 6 hoses off my S3 as part of the rebuild. 2 from the back and 2 each side from the front.
I ask TVR Spares for a replacement set (giving them the full details of the car etc...)
TVR Spares send me 5 hoses.
Now, is it my mistake or theirs?
Confused or what?
They do look nice though.

Definately theirs !

Although I did find when I was looking around for braided hoses a lot of suppliers listed a set of 5, really don't know what they are for because (Ithink) TVR have used independant rear suspension almost from the start and that surely requires two rear hoses?

These guys www.stevsonmotors.co.uk really know their stuff when it comes to brake pipes and hoses, wouldn't go anywhere else.

Thanks, thought as much.
I'll call them and sort it.

The easiest thing to do is to replace the 6 with 4, one for each wheel, removing the connection on the front on each side. I got the relevant set from TVR car parts to do this, they should be able to sort you out.
