Anyone interested in getting in on a group buy for a set of braided hoses?

Depends what hoses they are too.

I was looking at the hel hoses, these come in a choice of colours:

So we're talking about £55 without any discount. I will see what deals we can get with a group buy.

Speak to Ben Viner, Store Owner at http://helcarkits.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . He's already said he will do a discount for a group buy.

dam im goin to sound liek such a noob here :grin: ........ but .......

why would u buy them.... i dont mean that in a bad way but yeah ..... i dunno what difference they would make, or if they even do make a difference :? :?

sorry for the noob-ness!

Should sharpen up the feel from the brakes as the standard rubber hoses will have a degree of give in them, meaning some of the brake pressure to the piston is lost as the hoses bulge. Braided hoses remove most of this give, transferring more pressure to the piston and giving better feel.

Are these the same braided pipes as yours Rick? if so i'll be very interested

 

[FlashBastd]

I might be interested, price dependant.

How long is this likely to take though, if I am going to get some, I will need them within the next 10 days or so.

Yep, got them from the same place. Thought it was better to get it from the actual guys that manufacture them, rather than save pence from a supplier.

If you look my post in this thread (3rd down) from 23 July it has more info on HEL.
If you need longer lines for rear disc setups, they will do those also:

Would you say its worth the expense, do you notice that much difference???

 

[YOG]

Only just fitting them whilst I have the car off the road doing the rust treatment/undersealing.

 

[FlashBastd]

Anyone posted this on zsoc?

sax-puma, have you spoken to HEL?

 

[sax-puma]

I have contacted hose solutions, who I believe are the official suppliers of HEL hoses. They quoted the best offer of:
5 kits = £52
10 kits -£50
+ free delivery on all price breaks

 

[FlashBastd]

I need some urgently, so have just ordered some, sorry.

I would contact HEL directly, see Rick's (YOG) post, and offer it on ZSOC too.

 

[YOG]

Hose Solutions is the ebay company of http://helcarkits.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Ben Viner).

There are three prices on offer:
5 kits - £52
10 kits -£50
20+ kits - £45
Free delivery on all kits.

It just needs someone to collate the orders and colours required. Shipping can be to individuals address.
I've posted it on PumaPeople as well, to help get the numbers.

This might be a silly question, so sorry if it is:

Are the hoses universal? i.e. will they still be able to be used if you have had a brake conversion to ST170 front brakes?

I'm looking to upgrade shortly, so if the answer is yes please count me in for the group buy.

Many Thanks
Scott

 

[YOG]

FlashBastd has just ordered some and I believe he is fitting ST170 brakes, so he should be able to confirm.

 

[sax-puma]

I believe the answer is yes, as long as they are for the puma, they will work with the conversion.

I'm in on this buy if we can get at least 5 people, but obviously the more the better.
