Can someone tell me exactly what I need to do, to fit these to a BF? do I need to get brake lines made up for a BF or can I use the FG ones? What about mounting brackets? or am I just better off getting a set of BF ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you get the fg brackets they will still mount at the front too that's why you have to swap the brackets over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I use the BF brackets do I still need to do the rest to get these to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I've read people using the FG hoses as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to do things properly that's why I reccomended it mate, up to you your car.. cheers Edited 14/12/10 10:32 AM by CHLAXN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
