ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi cabbs I'm not running Hel lines. I ordered a set for the Leon Cupra R from Matt Lewis racing on ebay. Item number 401042113359. I remember the bolts that screw in to the caliper were not the right ones for some reason so they sent me out 2 fine pitch bolts separately. I would measure mine for you but I'm away for 2 weeks and the car is round my mates. Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Shouldn't our fitting be like this pal? They will look like that. The kit from ML racing will have the bolt that screws into the caliper and 1 side of the long hose in their pic is a open ring which slots on the bolt before you screw into the caliper. So that makes it a 90 degree angle. The other end of the hose is the same as in ur pic above. The short hoses are for the rear calipers on a Cupra but they are no use to us on mk3's as ours have different ends I'm pretty sure.

ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Get a nice set of discs and pads to go with the calipers and the brakes will be absolutely awesome. I've got ebc ultimate discs and ferrodo ds2500 pads and they have saved me many times 😉 Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Bealieboy and VR6CABBS 2 Link to post Share on other sites

VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yup but I've no idea what to measure! Lol Come on Richard. I only need the length of that purple hose from where it bolts into the back of the caliper and to the other end where it couples with the brake line on the inner leg. Just the full length of the Hel hose mate. Easiest way is to use a piece of string or wire pal. Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Running seat Leon 323mm front Discs with the hel lines . How does the hose fit the back of the caliper pal? Is it in the middle like the Cupra Brembo? They actually sell the Hel hoses for the Porsche caliper for the vr6 on eBay but not the Cupra Brembo. Link to post Share on other sites
