Brakes: 850: - Euro car parts and others, brake hoses correct?

Cypher007 · Mar 25th, 2019, 20:16

Trying to get some brake hoses and we’re finding the ones from euro and other motor factors don’t have a conical end, to go into the inside of the calliper.

They seem to have a reverse conical end with a slight champher.

Hi, Have you spoken to Simon at FRF motors in Swansea. They are Volvo dealers and forum members get a discount.

I haven't, but I need these asap so wasn't sure if they could post them in time.

FRF:- buy once (with discount) and get it right. Just as quick?

Cannot speak highly enough about FRF.

Not only have I bought from them and they have posted to me but they have also investigated the availability of an item, that had been on back order for months with another company, to see if they could locate one elsewhere.
