Brake line questions

[kneale at knitknacks.com]

Front flexible brake lines on the 3B cars with G60s are shorter than on MC
cars, but the fittings are the same size, so either probably would work. 
Rears are the same.

The flexible lines likely are not the cause of the problem, though, so, as
Bernie says, overhauling the calipers would be the more logical approach. 
I personally replace flexible brake lines when I do a timing belt service. 
I started doing that after the second flexible rear brake hose broke while
in use, dumping the fluid before I'd driven five miles.

Subject: Brake line questions


I've got a sticky rear brake caliper and thought I'd start with replacing
all the original brake lines and flushing the system.

Anyone know if the rear brake lines are absolutely unique to the 200q20v or
are they the same as on a standard 200 sedan?  Also the previous owner had
the "upgrade" to the non UFO brakes (I've been told they are the G60?). 
Would the front brake lines be unique to that change also?

I have not yet started disassembling yet.  I just though I'd check with the
body of knowledge before digging the hole.

Thanks,

P.S. As always any other suggestions or information on the subject would be
appreciated.
