    looks like the retaining nut was rusted on and they couldnt get it off, so they just cut the hose.

    as for as I'm away the other one is alright, but this one being like that, needed to know if it was fixable or not, theres always a catch when you get offerd something cheap:upset:

    that little nut thing just slides up and down the remainder of pipe

    What ever you do be careful. Brake line faiure on a front wheel is a massive shitter

    not sure if pipe would pull out, surely theres a way to fix it as they are not cheap calipers to buy

    camp david thats why I'm trying to get as much info as pos, don't want to end up dead!!

    been thinking is it possible to trim pipe, flare it and make a new connection?

    right need some more advive

    I have sorted the prob as above, the bit that was snapped screwed in so a bit fidling and banging head got it out:

    what I would like to know now is
    Q1 what brake hoses do I need

    Q2 what disks do I need

    Q3 do I need brackets making up to fit them

    and any other info you's think I might need to know, and any help will be much appreciated:thumbup:

    well a bit of digging and found the info I need, might come in handy if anyone else wants to go this route
    They are from a 406 V6 coupe so will just bolt straight onto 106/saxo struts Will be running 206 GTi180/ 307 HDi discs to get the correct offset for the new calipers. Will also need to uprate the master cylinder to an early 406 with non-ABS. Brake power should be amazing!!!
