Goodridge Brake lines on FleaBay

Post by DJPremier »

Hi Folks.. I am about to start on an inevitable brakes fettle on my 1984 MK2 Storm. The following 'upgrade part' caught my eye on El Bay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 3DWatching

Or Volksbits. eBay item no. 310187372009 in case linky above fluffs for any reason.

Has anyone here experience of this seller and the advertised product ? .. before I go on a Google hunt for alternatives. Is the TUV claim worth it's weight ?

Cheers in advance for all and any input ..

:stupid:

More noob questions where that came from.. arf.

Volksbits are good, been around a few years and always have a large stall at the main shows.

I'd steer clear of the zinc plated ends. They corrode in very little time, so in the event of you needing to remove them you could well end up needing to replace them.

i had goodridge hoses on the scala. as said, the ferrules had started to corrode after a few months. easily stopped though, and only an mot point if they are "excessively corroded"
