S4 to RS4 Front Brake Upgrade - Hose & Pad Wear Connecto

Post by par_s4 » Tue Aug 19, 2008 11:58 am

I'm looking for solutions to support the flexible hose and the pad wear indicator connector, when upgrading from stock facelift S4 front brakes to stock RS4.

There does not appear to be the facility to mount the S4 braket on the back of the RS4 calliper. I'm guessing the solution on the RS4 is different.

Can anyone provide details of the stock RS4 solution, or what else has been done. Tie wraps to the upright are doing fine so far, but I'm wondering what the MOT station will have to say about them...

There is a small bracket held on with one 6mm bolt, it bolts to the suspension upright and also locates on a small cast in pin.
HTH.

Thanks Gareth,

Im pretty sure the threaded hole and pin don't exist on the S4 upright.

p.s. Should be getting those rears brakes on fairly soon having got hold of some splash shields!
