braided brake lines made by Goodridge

Post by martinholmesuk » Thu Nov 03, 2005 11:26 am

I found some braided brake lines made by Goodridge http://www.goodridge.net/appguides/UkCAR.pdf There pdf only has 480 TURBO (Non ABS) models, Don't these fit the ABS brake caliper?

I got those brakelines for my turbo without abs, and they will fit on caliperes that had ABS (I do not have ABS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I guess the pressure of the ABS is too big for those brakelines.
Goodridge sells them only for 480's WITHOUT ABS.

Well that would be a bit crap really, the idea of braided hoses is that they can take HIGHER pressures without bulging.

Maybe it would be crappy, but I do not know the pressure difference between 480's with and 480's without ABS.
If the difference is big I can understand, if it isn't ---- youre right Chris.

I /think/ that they were worried about the Mark II ABS system which ran some mahoosive pressure to the rear brakes I believe. <<hence scary HBOL warnings all over the shop>>
