I am needing to replace a caliper and so will need new crush washers.... What size do I need to buy please? And is it better to replace the oem brake set up to a race style set up or keep the original set up but change pipes to braided?

Many Thanks

 

Change to braided lines. The kit should come with new washers.
After 25 years, the brake hoses have probably seen better days.

 

Will do when I have the money next month.... Thank you, was thinking is best to replace, am I right in thinking that popping a double banjo on master cylinder and two seperate line is gonna be better than the one line split into two half way down?

 

Not sure if it's "better", but it's certainly not worse... Now, eliminating the soft stretchy worn out rubber hose and adding steel braided tubing will be much better.

I've seen people condemn the calipers for sticking brakes, when it's really the restricted old brake hose that is causing the issue.

 

Many thanks
