Hi all,

When I put goodridge hoses onto my track Alfa 33 with GTA brakes - (yes I know - I really did want to stop before the bends, but if you have ever driven a 33 you would appreciate going to extremes on brakes) I had a requirement to fit obviously non standard brake lines.

So, what I did was took a brake hose off a 33 and one off a GTA offered them up to the car to check I had the correct flex length and looked at the connections at each end. I had some spare 33 goodridge hoses for a 33 to start with that were long enough and looking at the GTA connection just went onto the goodridge website and ordered a set of new ends to fit the GTA brakes. On their site they give you full instructions about fitting ends to their pipes etc.

What I am really driving at is that if you wanted true goodridge hoses buy as set that is close as possible, cut the ends of and fix on the correct ones. It's really easy to do. A couple of ring spanners, hacksaw or grinder, bench vice if you have one just to hold things and bobs your uncle!

This isn't the cheapest thing to do as goodridge components are expensive - but as always 'you pays your money and takes your choise.....'
