FRONT BRAKE HOSE...44 Jul 31, 2012 1:01:51 GMT

Matt,

Here's my 2p worth...

Take a measurement from hex flange to hex flange, then decide on full lock either way if it appears to be the correct length.

Millimetres please

Some aftermarket stuff is within 10mm of each other. I've got down 260mm, but 250mm may will be long enough too. 270mm wouldn't be too long either. In fact if you got a load of different suppliers stuff out in front of you, there'd be a variation anyway.

OR risk it for a biscuit: go by my dodgy notes (untried and untested as I've not done a full overhaul on Dilly)

ATE 83.6104-0250.3
TRW PHB 239
Delphi LH3654
Firstline FBH6028.
Pagid 70009

See this link HERE. If you look at that ATE catalogue image, it shows the hex flange to flange length as 250mm and an end to end length of 14+250+11.3 = 275.3mm

Now on that page, click on the Firstline number FBH6028, it'll come up with the Firstline catalogue image, and that shows as 256mm flange to flange and 280mm overall.

If you click on Delphi, it shows the same cars, but say 260mm length, but doesn't say where they measure from or to, but I assume it's flange to flange for that one.

Be careful chasing cross-reference to cross-reference, as you can work your way down in length to 240mm... which is fine for some applications, but not for others or you can wind up with something completely wrong as catalogues aren't infallible.

If you need a slightly longer one, then I suggest:

ATE 83.7724-0268.3
TRW PHB561
Delphi LH6465
Firstline FBH7294
Pagid 70799

(It has one of those silly plastic things on the middle, but won't make any differenece) see full list HERE

If the shop wants a reg no, tell them to "get tae (f**k)". Find a place that will either have the above in stock (bring the old one with you) or find a place that has a paper catalogue. In the back of the catalogue is usually all the pictures with fittings/threads/lengths.

I'd probably start at Euro Car Parts first, then work my way round the local motor factors.

But then again, if I were lazy...

250mm (280mm) one = Audi 80/90 Quattro (non-Quattro is shorter) = www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150801827444

265mm (295mm) one = Ovlov S60 rear = www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280823753414

and sit on backside and let postie do the leg work. ;D

Hope this helps.
