Good to hear the welding's getting done properly

I expect the braided hoses work out cheaper than an OEM equivalent all round as well... And you might as well replace all of them now

Yeah OEM equivalent rubber hoses were at least twice the cost of the braided equivalent

So it's a no brainer, but it does require you to be confident of your measurements

I'll get a set of rears made up towards the end of the month

Apparently the hoses are suitable for petrol as well, so I plan to get a new fuel filter and some nice new hoses made up for the bay too

I'm a little bit excited about getting all this done, even though it's nothing major really

I was quoted 600 quid do do both rear arches on mine, excluding filling, flatting and painting!!! 200 sounds good value, and proper job done

Yeah, no idea how good a job it'll be as I paid about £100 for a plate previously elsewhere

got to be better than a plate at least

Agreed, where did you get your braided hoses from in the end

got them online at customhoses.co.uk - nowhere local was open over the weekend so I didn't have a choice in the end. I usually prefer to support local businesses though, as it's nice to be able to chat to somebody knowledgeable over the counter. FWIW the website I used were helpful over email though, so no drama there. I just hope my measurements were up to scratch, it'll be just my luck that I screwed it up somehow

good for you, hence my original scenario about using local suppliers, but understand the timeframe issue, hope all goes well.

Cheers mate, me too! I think after the MOT it's about time I went round the car checking and replacing anything I can lol. Then I should hopefully be due a few years of trouble free motoring

touch wood

My new hoses turned up today

I love it when I get shiny car parts in the post!

So I braved the weather and got them fitted this eve. Excuse the dirty arches

My first 'performance' mod on the Accord

if you can call it that

I bled the brakes with Laura but it's apparent that my bodged piece of hose wasn't up to the job, as my brakes are still a tad spongy. So tomorrow I shall rob my dad of his bleeding kit and sort the brakes properly.

After that it's CV boot time. Bring on the grease!!
