Hello all just putting together bits for s13 front brake swap
so im short broke hoses and caliper bolts for the s13 calipers.

Mabye someone has some laying around after a swap to braided lines ?????
cheers

I'm in the process of doing this conversion and normally you swap your struts around (left becomes right and vice versa) which means the calipers end up mounted to the front. Once this is done the standard brake hose is way to short to connect up to the standard hardline...so you'll probably need custom length hoses made up anyway.

you can use the standard s13 hoses, thats what ive done.

although its probably worthwile getting some new ones made up while youve got it apart

bolts no, lines I'll see how good they are. If they check out fine then name a price lower than a carton

edit: you also gotta put your location in the profile info so we're not assuming your in melbourne or "south australia"

Ange you've got me interested in how you did that as I just got quoted $200 to have some longer braided lines made up. It looks to me like I need at least another 5-6inches over the standard S13 hoses to allow enough length for the full steering sweep. I've got 120Y struts which don't have any mounting point on them so the hose would go to the standard 1200 bracket mounted on the inner guard and connect to the hardline at that point. Are you using more than one rubber hose??

I had rubber hoses crimped up for the nomad gear in the bluebird, prices aren't what I remember them 7 years ago. You could get rubber lines made for under 100 and braided was 190 but this rbber lot cost me 160, granted I asked for springs to cover the lines but they shouldn't be much.

The lines look like they screw straight into the caliper, not the usual banjo stye????

i welded a clamp (from my 1200 struts) to the 120y strut to support the hose as it sweeps to the front

mine are plenty long, perhaps there is more than one type of hose for s13?

an old pic

When I did the S13 conversion,, I ended up using C22 urvan front brake hoses...

Ok that pics helped (thanks Benny and Ange)..looks like I should be welding a bracket to my strut and utilising the S13 hose from caliper to the bracket. I was feeling like just having one long hose dangling there was a bit wrong!
Hope I can tack something on without having to pull the struts out.
