john milner Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I think that after 17 years that I should replace my front brake hoses. The car is a 2003 SV with standard Spitfire calipers. Not interested in changing the rear pipes.Are the front hoses the same for SVs and S3s?Am I likely to hit any thread size problems (metric/imperial etc.)?I have seen a few part numbers circulating and am not sure what I am supposed to be looking at (for example 77210F, CAT-3-001-X, CAT-3-002-X, CAT-4-002). Any thoughts on which set I need before I approach a supplier?Any advice on a preferred supplier? I have seen HEL, SFS and Caterham so far.Are any colours a problem? I suppose they might get dirty looking sooner but that can be partly offset by looking faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightpayne Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I thought all SVs came with widetrack front suspension so std S3 wont fit. I suspect widetrack S3 and SV use the same part.My widetrack S3 hoses, which came with the kit, have 11 1/4 inches of braided hose from fitting edge to fitting edge.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john milner Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I think you are right about widetrack but wasn't sure. For some reason when I originally searched on the Caterham website it was not listed but I have think I have found it now.https://caterhamparts.co.uk/hoses/725-brake-hose-set-widetrack.htmlhttps://caterhamparts.co.uk/hoses/725-brake-hose-set-widetrack.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
