Braided (Goodridge) hoses for 2L 8v 256mm brakes?

[Small]

Hi all, I have been thinking of changing the brake set-up on my Cupra 8v. Rather than get a set of 2nd hand 16v 280mm brakes I have decided to stick with the stuff I have got and get some decent discs, pads and hoses. Goodridge do not list a set for the 8v but i'm wondering if one of the sets for a Mk2 Golf might fit? Any help would be much appreciated.

These should do the trick

Are they the correct ones, they do not list the model or brake size/calliper code?

Thanks Andyj, they went on fine. Had to have the brake pipes replaced though as they could not get the old hoses off.

reminds me my discs/pads need doing, might order these too

Good news

Do to the location of the hose/pipe joint, I'm not surprised they couldn't undo them though.... they get covered in water/muck/salt etc all day long being sat in the wheel arch!

I was not too surprised as the rear pipes had to be replaced about 2yrs ago as they could not get the old hoses off then. So it should all be okay in the braking department now, new discs and pads on the front, new braided hoses and new pipes/lines all round.

But now my gearbox has started to make a noise in reverse when the clutch is not engaged and rolling backwards (

Badger 5 is selling Hel braided lines to fit the 256 or 280mm brakes in his section on here.

Wouldnt worry, i know a couple that do that with no adverse issues
