M4RC Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've just had the st rear axle put on and they've used a copper pipe to connect it which I don't like the look of, where would the ST braided lines go from? Directly from the calipers to where??? (I also painted the the bits I missed on the calipers and also the rusty bits on the disks are now black haha) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 From the calipers to the joint at the bracket on the bodywork. google "fiesta st rear brakes" for pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpannerTheCat Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 That looks a strange setup to me,what's the cable tie for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've used the original hose which is too short, the ST hose has a small bracket on it which screws to the calipers where they have used the cable tie.

Would it pass an MOT with the short hose & the cable tie? Wouldn't be happy with it like that myself though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cable ties just keeping it secured to the bracket to make sure it doesn't come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be happy with it like that myself though Think it would, it was a well known good company that done it so they know what there doing, the cables ties just keeping it in place. It was drums before which has a rubber pipe but the st has a metal pipe so they had to make a bit up but I'm not happy with the look and the cable ties don't exactly help either so that's why I'm looking at braided lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I had a look. Looks like I'll need to buy a set of 4, do you think the front ones would fit the fiesta 1.0 ecoboost calipers?

ThaiFiesta Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 There are braided lines for the Fiesta MK7 range that seem to fit all except the ST. I just purchased a set from HEL. Not fitted yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 HEL can manufacture a custom made braided line for you if there is no kit.Give them a call in Exeter it's not a problem for them. Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_k Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Also looks as though your getting a slightly uneven "bite" on that disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you gone from drums to discs on the rear axle? seems a lot of hassle for a 2010 car, unless your into showing the car etc (which it looks like form your profile pic).
