I thought that at the time Fletch but i wasnt sure i could squeeze it over the unions on the new lines  Will give it a go at the weekend as i think it will be worth it  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Well i had a fiddle at the weekend trying to get to the bottom of the issue i was having and im glad to say i found the problem Unfortunatly Phil's brake extensions are perfect for Brembo's but not for the AP's and they were stopping all the fluid getting through to the caliper as well as leeking slightly because of being designed for Brembo's I had a chat with Phil and it seems the AP's will only work with a Banjo type connection (as in their kit ) so im going to get some of those on order and finally my brakes will be complete and i can do some tests and a price overview  I am over budget sadly ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Just check the flares haven't been distorted from being screwed into the AP's, they might leak if so.If they have, let me know who buys the kit and I'll send them some out FOC so you've still got a full kit to sell on. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Cheers Phil, having looked at them i think they are fine as their is a nice recess for them to sit in the AP caliper, i will however check beforehand They are a top bit of kit just a pain i jumped the gun and expected them to work with the AP's Lesson learnt ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

UPDATESo last week finally i managed to get all the right parts needed from the brake suppliers, one special AP Racing Banjo and Banjo Bolt to suit At the weekend i set about swapping them over with Phil's extensions which was a pretty messy affair, brake fluid was going everywhere Anyway got them on and bled the system (again!  ) before taking the car for a quick test spin.... They work properly now, hurrah  First impressions are the pedal feel is far far superior to the standard setup and even with the slightest touch the car will pretty much stop I refrained from braking to much as i need to bed everything in properly once the car has had its MOT this week, once thats done i will take her out for a setup spin next weekend and then once bedded in i can give some proper feedback Thanks for everyones help on this, would have had trouble overcoming some problems had it not been for some users of this site I will have a look at how much it has cost me today and post up, the intial budget of ________________________________________ Just Drive It |
