well after putting the new bigger front brakes on,
noticed they were weeping slightly where the brake hose connects to the caliper,
after closer inspection the thread on the end of the braided hose was'nt long enough
as it looked like it was screwed in fully, but the end of the connection was'nt fully making contact inside the caliper
heres the offending thread



so we ground the surrounding metal around where the hose connects to the caliper so that the thread could screw in fully, making a better connection and not leaking any fluid
forgot to take a before pic, but heres the connection after, as you can see the thread shows room to screw in a bit more when infact its up tight inside, no more leaking


heres a pic of the new beam and rear disc's on


was'nt happy with the rear brake lines so replaced them with new copper lines my old man made up, with new braided hoses to connect to the rear calipers


had to make brackets to secure the hoses to the rear beam,
also to make sure the hoses dont rub on anything like the shocks etc,
used a small amount of copper pipe as these braided hoses were made for a mk3 fiesta which has drums,
and not disc's as none of them came out of the factory with them. bracket works well tho



and heres what the disc's look like quickly behind the wheels
(alot nicer than horrible old drums)
will have some new up to date pics after eurofest hopefully as the fiesta passed the mot this morning
