Fitment question from me, I know you may think it's having a pop but it really isn;t and I don;t have a phone number to call you on.

without reading the complete thread again, these are the Exact pipes.

The rears are too long, on both sides so have you fitted any of these yourself to a GTI6? as they need to be shorter by around 40mm compared to the std pipes removed (OE Pug ones)

yeah i have fitted them thanks and so have ALOT of people and not a single person has complaind to me that they are too long.

They are made to the same lengths as found on service box and this cross matches to a number of after market replacment hose companies. Supplying both standerd and braided hoses.

I have a set in front of me now for a forum user and have checkd the dimensions.

Exact make thousands of lines a week for both the domestic market and worldwide so they know what they are doing.

They do offer several different 306 kits and i only supply and have knowledge of one of them.

How much would a full kit for a GTI6, with covers and stainless fittings set me back?
Thanks

As said it was only some feed back, compared to the std hoses they are longer and with the std brackets stick down under the car, If no one says anything you'd never know,
Can you let me have the lengths to check, Maybe they where done wrong?

Nice customer service again, Cannot see the harm of telling me the length's to check the pipes, No contact at all not even via PM,
If it was a close guarded secert I could understand but a brake pipe..

have you being smokin the crack pipe?

Customer service?
Are you a customer? No your not

have i or exact had any complaints about the length of the rear hoses?
No we havent.

Have i answerd your question about lengthes?
In a roundabout way yes i have.
They are the same length as can be found detailed on service box and any number of replacment brake line suppliers website and parts books.

Is there any need for me to pm you?
No there isnt.

SO STOP SPAMMING THE THREAD

do exact make hoses for after market caliper suppliers and braided line suppliers, who re brand and pack them then dramaticly increase the price?
Yes they do.

You have never answered my question and hence why I keep asking, it's not rocket Science of giving me the length's and I'm not falling for look at this and that as I do not have the time and I know what length's mine are.

The simple fact is the lines you sold to one of my customers seemed to long (Even to the orginal Peugeot pipes that I removed) and I want you to tell me the length so I can check them out, We all make mistakes at the end of the day (me included) this is a safety critcal item which you should understand why I would like to know and I'm sure this would help you to be seen as a understanding supplier with good customer service and nothing to hide.

As soon as I know this I can check them out and let you know and if need be get some replacement's if they are incorrect.

If you want I can get him to contact you so you can tell him to tell me but I think that's taking it abit far and Unnecessary.

Nothing more I can say, I await a positive reply

If some one has had lines from me then they can contact me and raise the issue, as this would be what most people do.

And records are kept of who has had what so i can check,

yes it is neccasary for them to contact me with the lengthes you say the lines are, and from what part of the hose you have measurd.




But as i have said countless times they are made to the same lengths as peugeot state on service box and that other companies state in there product descriptions.


This all sounds like sour grapes to me as some one has had lines from me and askd you to fit them, thus you missing out on a sale.


In the 5yrs of selling these lines myself i have NEVER had any one complain about the length of the rears, and in that time the design has changd.
And exact have being selling them much longer than that, look back at this thread, go on read all the pages and you find me a single person complaing the rear lines are too long?
There you go you wont, but what you will find is alot of people commenting on the quality, alot of people who when they change car come back for more lines be it for a 306 or what they have changd to.


These aint some lines knockd up by some one in an old shed, these are made by a company who specialise in them.
Who make thousands of lines a week and distrubute them worldwide under a multi tude of names.

I even have garages off here (more than one and not just peugeot)buying
multiple sets from me over periods of time,

NOW GET OFF MY THREAD!

I don't generally sell brake lines as for a mere few quid it's not worth the hassle of me doing it, Unlike you I have overheads of running a business so no sour grapes at all and I couldn't really care less what others do.

I'd have to get the car back to measure them and this would incure around about a £25.00 fuel bill for my customer so I'm just trying without any sucess to date to get a answer, Not difficult is it.

He has no acess to tools himself so asking this of him is out of the question and again I'm sure this would help your casue of customer service

So I'm just trying to help him out.

I'm not going on any more so I'll leave this open and hope to get a positive reply to my question and leave it for everyone to see.

If I were you Swampy I would just give him the measurement the pipe is supposed to be so he can check if it's the same and that could be an end to it.
You digging your heels in and refusing to accept that there MAY have been a mistake HOWEVER UNLIKELY is just making you look bad.
Put it another way, if I had just stumbled accross this thread and saw your response to a perfectly reasonable query I would'nt hesitate in sending my business elsewhere.

Think about this:

The rear brake pipe has to be long enough to cope with full droop of the rear trailing arm. As it runs over the top of the beam pivot when the arms drop the length of the hose effectively has to increase as the two fittings move apart. If you lower a 6 (Something a few of Miles customers have done I suspect, then you will reduce the distance between the fittings. My Goodridge hoses had a fair ammount of slack in them with the car on the ground (Lowered 30mm from standard) causing them to bend upwards at a bit of a curve (which gets even tighter if the suspension compresses) if the hoses were even longer, they would form an even tighter curve under the same suspension movemnent. Now I can see why this may not have been noted before, but even the standard hose can be a little too long on a lowered car, so before you start saying how many you have sold, why not just give the poor bloke what he asked for like a good supplier does.

As i have said to miles, if the person who actualy purchasd the lines from me was to get in touch then i will discuss it with them.

Miles had made degratory remarks about the lines supplied in the past and i personaly believe this is just another way of him doing that.
If as he says the lines are dangerous then most mechanics i know of wouldnt fit them!
But he did fit them.

Even though he claims to be able make them himself, so could of made and fitted ones which in his opione would of being correct.

Out of all the lines i have supplied and fitted, which are made by a very big company, with strict quality control in place. I havent being informd of any lines being too long.
The guys that make them know what they are doing, they dont just throw bits togeather.




Look at it this way, you go down comet and buy a new hd tv, a while later your sat watching the boxing with ya mate and the picture goes funny.
You cant be botherd to say anything so your mate goes down and complains, do you think comet would listen?
Or do you think as its you they have the contract with they would ask you to contact them?


Im not digging my heels in just think people are out to damage a reputation of some one who supplies a similair product to themselves.

If who ever miles claims has a problem with the lines wishes to contact me then they can do, but records are kept of who buys what so ill be able to check.

And that is the end of the matter in public discussion, page dumps of text have being taken for future referance.

I have had a set of brake lines supplied by a customer (exact units) these where also about an inch too long for the rear also, perhaps it's just a mistake?

Makes an issue with the exhaust heat shield and fowling of suspension components when the car is on the ground.

seems odd you won't comment on the length mr swampy, I know just make brake lines, much easier and simple to do.

mine were too long so my mechanic said, but he also stated it wasnt a problem and there was nothing being fouled/rubbing ect, neil gti_6 had his fitted at the same time too.
i noted the difference and thought they were great value for money.
just my £6.99's worth.
