Mk3 Front brake hoses - help required.

Postby vana mana » Wed Nov 14, 2018 9:27 pm

I went to my local motor factors and gave them all details for my Mk3 160 ambulance camper rear twin wheeler
Front 4 pot brake calipers
I needed some new front brake hoses but I'm sure they have sold me the wrong ones
I am not allowed to open the packaging they are individually in - if I do they won't refund
The bit that comes out the inner wing drops straight down at 180 degrees then the original hose bend round with No bracket that connects to shocker then onto meta bit with locating pin into caliper. But no mater what way I try to get the new ones to replicate the original pattern angle it don't look right

Does anyone have the Ford original part numbers and any cross reference numbers

I stand to loose £45.00 if I don't rerun them quickly if they are wrong

Thank you

If they gave you the wrong part regardless of if you open it a full refund is due :idea:

When you return the hoses take a pic with you to compare the old hoses in situ.
