ur quattro photo request

Hoyle · 05-09-13, 08:37 AM

I'm looking for a photograph of the front G60 brakes, whilst fitted to an MB quattro.

I have girling g60 twin pots & urq struts on the front of my 80q with the correct 407mm flexi hoses. Problem is the hoses seem too tight. I'd like to see where the hoses join the copper lines on the urq, as i think it may be different on the 80q. Worst comes to worst, I'll find and fit longer hoses.

Does this look right for an MB quattro? (sourced on the net)

Cheers! Hoyle

ont the ur, the Hoses were different lengths, depending on chassis. G54 were fitted to cars up until about mid 1986ish, and G60 from then onwards.

I replaced the brakes on my WR- fitting G60. I had already fitted goodridge on the G54. I seem to recall encountering a hose length issue at some point, but I don't recall if it was my own car or someone else's.

according to VAGCAT, on the ur-

433611707
brake hose / F >> 85-G-902 400
M10X1,0X353 / QUATTRO

443611707C
brake hose / F 85-H-900 001>>
M10X1,0X405 / QUATTRO

I wonder if there is a little commonality of parts going on, because I had in my mind that there was a 380mm hose.

full lock, right

These are the hoses I ordered, but I think the hose mounting point is different on the 80q and the urq. My new lines measure up at 407mm - so correct as far as ETKA thinks. But might not be suited to G60's on a normal T85 car. I'm thinking of measuring from the point my hoses mount, to where the urq hoses mount, and then add that to the 407mm to find the ideal hose length.

I'll be much easier than moving the hose mount and making new front copper lines. Only downside is hose flex / pedal sponge. Braided lines can be made to order though. So I think that'll be my best option.

same hose, at the hard line coupling

Superb! That confirms my suspicion. The hard line coupling is in a different position on the 80q. I'll measure then find some longer hoses.

Thanks for your help

Cat+Pidgeon interface issue....

Looking at VAGCAT, the hoses on CQ and 80 appear to be much shorter- 335mm
