256 upgrade.. help with braided lines please!

Post by treefingers »

So the plan is 256 vauxhall calipers up front and standard drums rear.. I want to use braided lines but they seem to come in full sets of 4 and the Vauxhall brakes use banjo connectors on the front so I can't use a full VW set. If anyone knows if a full Vauxhall set will work on my rocco that would be helpful.. the Vauxhall set have banjos on the front but normal connectors on the rear which is why I was hoping!

Here's the Vauxhall set.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MK2-ASTRA-GTE ... 23348ab136

Thanks

You just need to know the length of the vx rears to compare to your current ones. Will be the same thread on both.
