well got one side done then came in, my old brake lines with the nut have rounded off so will ned to get that fixed next before connecting the hose right :(
 
yeah i had the same problem on the sri and the autech, but with both it was only on the front passenger side (?), must be due to the extra dirt picked up on that side. i had to resort to mole grips. as long as you have 2 flats out of the 6 on the nut relatively ok, you should be able to tighten it up alright.
 
I like them black,mine are black, i dont feel the need to advertise i have brakes, and it shows th eyellowstuff through them :cool:
 
They look great Andrew. Where did you need the washers? I tried to fit mine the other day and it seemed like i had to put a 3-4mm spacer between the disk and the hub. Was this the same for you.?

Looking great Andrew, glad they fit ok....see i told you they would! Be good if you could borrow a GTi wheel to test fit over the brakes.

If you make it down to the Edinburgh meet you can always try my spare, if you don't mind changing wheels in the middle of a car park...

...I'd be happy to change if you don't wanna get dirty - I really wanna know if they fit under standard wheels!
