Rear Brake Hoses Fitted

Nothing's ever as easy as it looks...mainly because the manual sucks. Fitting the rear brake hoses should be an easy job involving a couple of washers and doing up a couple of nuts tight enough, but not too tight.

In fact with the golf calipers supplied the manual tells you to move the bleed nipple (err no that only applies to the Sierra calipers you used to use WF), neglects to mention that you need a couple of convertor widgets,


Result being a five minute job becomes a 45 minute one, involving research on the Internet. Thanks to Nikpro for having such good pictures on his site.

Struggling with many other things too, particularly the Smiths speedo transducer, Mark at WF has sent me some photos of how to fit on to the front of car but (a) don't seem to have been supplied the bracket (b) the wiring loom doesn't seem to be right for the connections....another email to WF tomorrow...


Here is what came with the instruments for the speedo transducer...
