Anyone got a photo of front brake hoses?

[havoc]

I've just received some braided hoses from Goodridge, and despite me asking if they had two line locators on each front hose, they've come with only one.

So, anticipating an argument with them, I was hoping someone MAY have a photo of some original NSX front hoses (or some braided ones WITH two locators).

Thanks,

Martin.

Have a look in the article section (link in the page header) and you will find my brake article. There may be one in there ....

You have to really REALLY specify that you want the 2 line locators on the Goodridge hoses or you wont get them! [You can send them back and ask them to make a set with 2 locators]

The OEM hoses obviously have 2 but they are in closed locations on the hose and cant move. On the Goodridge ones the locater are in "free" motion so you can move them to where you want.

My car has Endless Zeal suspension so I didnt really need the 2 locators but I devised my own second line locator on the front hoses.

Here's a few pics:

This is a pic of the Goodridge with 2 line locators, sometimes they come with the white/clear plastic spacers and sometimes they dont.

If you still want pics of the OEM hoses let me know as I think I have some in the garage and can take pics.

Hi, Martin.

Thanks both - super-quick work!

I'll save those and take them to work with me tomorrow, just in case I end up in an argument with Goodridge...hopefully they'll be reasonable, they were good over the phone beforehand!

Kaz - I've just thought of a possible back-up plan (hopefully won't be necessary). Will e-mail you shortly.

Goodridge should have no problem replacing the hoses for ones with dual locators. I recently received a set for an NSX that was in for some work and sent them back and asked for the front hoses to have the 2 locators. Was no problem and received the new lines about a week later.

Well, Goodridge turned everything around very quickly and exactly to their word - I'm impressed.

If anyone wants anything direct from them, I dealt with Martin.

Told yeah! No problem dealing with those guys, friendly and quick delivery.
