Can I Use 1.6 Flexis With 1.9 Calipers?

[shalmaneser 26]

'upgrading' to 1.9 front calis, question as per the title really!

 

I've been assured that it's no problem, thought I'd get a second opinion before I splash the cash on some 1.6 goodridge hoses!

Yup, not a problem.

1.6 and 1.9 GTi front brake hoses are identical - it's the rear lines that differ between the two Goodridge kits

haha yes totally agree ESPECIALLY when i open the pack, fit the 2 front ones no probs,

 

go to fit the rear (1.6) and find i have 2 DIFFERENT hoses grrrrrrr...........

 

just cut them to fit Antohny's refurb beam ....... damn it

The rear beam flexi's on 1.6 GTi's are odd hoses - the passenger side is male-female, and the drivers side is female-female (on 1.9 GTi's they're both female-female hoses)

Wish i'd known that before, it caused me loads of grief taking bits back and arguing with JCT600 parts dept! They thought both should be female female and wouldn't believe me that they were different accused me of not putting my car back together properly
