Hi,

Have Astra GTE brake upgrade to fit to me car (eventually) but been looking at getting a set of braided hoses.

Thing is I'm not sure which ones to get. Do I get the ones for the Nova (it currently has the standard mk2 1.2 brakes) or do I get ones for the Astra GTE?

I have the servo, master cylinder, full brake set. Apart from brake fluid is there anything else I need (like new brake lines)?

u need nova hoses

u could replace the lines if they need it or perhaps fit full braided lines throughout

There are two copper washers on either side of the banjo conection between the hose and the caliper. You could buy new ones or heat them up with a blow torch till cherry red then place in water, just to make them soft again.
