Gadgetman Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Does anyone have the dimensions of the mk2 Vitesse Type 16 Caliper hose brackets as the stainless ones I bought cause the hose to foul on the spring at full lock? Or Has anyone got a pair of the hose brackets that are spare that they want to sell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Even if yours is shorter, it still looks wrong, just can't place what is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Pretty sure Paul's are the same as mine....... ....... and so are my GT6 ones. Interesting to note Paul has the braided hoses with non-crimped ends as I do. I've been told they are not road legal, but no MoT man has commented in 25+ years. The brackets at both ends often need a bit of tweaking to get the best run, but those new ones need some serious remodelling! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerguzzi Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hello Nick Are you saying your hoses are 25 years old? or just the type you use? 25 years even for more modern stuff seems a long time? plus you drive hard at times! still what do I know?

dave.vitesse Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 If the conversion is on a Herald or Spit remember the brake lines on the turrets are on the opposite sides to the 2 Litre Vitesse and GT6. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave It’s on a 1600 Vitesse but yes I’ve already made new rigid lines to the front of the turrets 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
