stump, have you read through this thread yet

http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... mbo+brakes

. it goes into more detail on what i said above, i ended up having to swap the bleed nipples and link pipe around. if you have any more pics of the calipers i may be able to tell if they are right or not. cant quite see the letters on the pics youve posted

I hope so !!

Maybe someone can have a look at next weekend's RR session at Surrey Rolling Road ?

just go out with a torch a look and see if zl 17 or zl 18 can be seen like in this pic

Off to see what I can see without having to take the wheels off !

Back in 5...

the largest piston should be at the top. sorry to say mate but from what i can make out these are the wrong way round

Can't see anything with the wheel on, so will have to wait to check.

Ok looking at this picture:

There's no stamped product number on the top of the caliper, so must be the other end (they definitely had the numbers quoted as saw them yesterday).
Just reading your other thread...

That pic I just posted is the top of the caliper as fitted to my car now. From the other thread you mentioned Jimbo, the codes need to be at the bottom, which they therefore are, so would suggest they are fitted correctly?

Looks good, way 2 complicated 4 me, where would we be without friends,
decided 2 go rs6 route just ordered parts from dealer [that made an hole in the bank balance]
but supposedly just a bolt on job.
where will u go 4 braided brake hoses ?
anywhere local ?

ello mate.

Was getting Doug at MRC to fit them. I believe the B7 RS4 fitment is the correct size/length. Haven't organised yet though...
What about your mate ???

HEL brake lines (based in devon IIRC)

Post by **stumpyrs4** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 10:57 pm

Yeah, but not sure exactly what ones I need. Porsche calipers...?
I believe MRC said B7 RS4's but not sure...

Hi Carl, my mate emigrated 2 New Zealand last thursday [ car in dealers at mo,injecters leaking +brakes]
i've bought oem b7/ rs6 hoses difference is they have rigid 90 degree bend where they connect onto
calliper. Dont know where u connect onto ur porsche callipers but if the connection is angled your probably
better off with straight hoses ie. b5
Check ebay complete sets braided hoses 4 rs4 and rs6 fair prices too

Hi Mate, not been around for a while, glad to see you got then on eventually.

So, if you dont mind me asking what did the total bill come too...PM if necessary.

Cheers
