Cheers , yeah won't matter if I damage anything except the upper control arm as I'm changing it all.

The el brake lines should fit the au caliper ?? The square fitting at the end is not as wide as the au square fitting . ?

if the mounting bolt fits and the copper washer is big enough to seal it?

I'm sure the banjo fittings are the same and so are the copper washers .
I figured a solution if the brake lines aren't long enough . I can swap calipers so the inlet is at the top, when I bleed the brakes I'll have to flip them over , just a temporary fix but will get me out of trouble .

You could reverse bleed them, or even get brake lines made up with the old fittings on the car end & the new fittings on the caliper end.... Sure it adds to the price, but it would be spot on.

The brake lines fit on ,but too short . Even with the bleeder at the bottom , no chance of getting any longer ones on a Sunday , I'll just have to get done what I can today , get the lines on Monday.

They look good mate but you have the rotors on the wrong way around. You need to swap them left to right.
I have a couple of AU2 lines here if you get stuck if its any help.

Had a look on the net at a brake upgrade for au2 and the hoses look around 600mm long , basically double the length of el brake lines ,

I'm going to give reliance brakes a call to see if they can make me a set , troyman how much did you pay for your brake lines ? Did you get a full set ?

Matt if the au2 ones are 600 mm long give or take I'll probably grab them . Will they fit the metal brake line ??
