Dear All,
Thanks to Wah, I now have a set of Goodrich braided brake hoses for my 1.9 GTI. Unfortunately, as they're used, they have no fitting instructions, and I have now got stuck on how to fit them. I was expecting them to be an exact replacement for the OE ones, because that's what they're sold as on eBay, but my set seems to be somewhat different.
There are no problems with the front ones, as they are obvious and drop right into place, but the rears don't have the same mounting interface for the spring clips.
As you can see, not only do they not have the shoulder for the spring clip, but they also pass right through the hole in the mounting brackets. So how are they supposed to be fixed in place? Am I missing a set of special clips or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to resort to cable ties!!
Many thanks,
Mike
