Right guys my Hispec callipers should be here tomorrow. They come with braided brake lines but they originally come from a 106. Whilst i am pretty sure the fittings are the same, im worried they will be too short. Can anyone confirm? If they are, i need some custom ones ideally before the weekend! Any ideas where i can get them from? And if anyone knows any places that i can go into and have some made in Surrey or London, even better!!!  |

probably will be a tad short, standard 106 hoses are under 300mm long, 306 hoses are 530mm long.best bet is to bolt them on and measure up from lock to lock using the 306 hose as a guide. Think Automotive can sort you hoses  292, Worton Road, Isleworth, Middlesex, TW7 6EL, England. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

You sir are a star! +1 Ideally these need to go on asap as my pads are running very low and this weekend is the only chance i will get to fit them! Next question, does anyone know if the end that connects to the steel line in the car is the same from the 306 and 106? That way i can just go to Think and say make me these but longer! |

Better to have them too long than too short IMO |
