As stated above.
I asked the local 914 mechanic about installing new brake hoses. He wasn't sure if stock 914 rubber or SS braided would work since I had BMW front calipers. For those that have BMW calipers, what have you installed for your brake hoses? I would like to get some of the SS braided but would hate to buy then find out there is a compatibility problem. Thanks for your help. |

Yes, actually it has nothing to do with the flex line. BTW: This caliper is mounted on the wrong side..
