Took the plunge M-Series

Did the rear brakes today...  Took longer than I thought  as I had trouble setting the handbrake.  My adjuster on both sides were screwed all the way "in" and had jammed so I had to adjust it a few mm out once I freed it up.  ended up taking it out and used some multigrips & pliers.

 

FYI Rear brakes have HEAPs of clearance to the GT335 rim  although I have the 9" staggered rears.

 

So want to do the front brakes and before I take it apart was wondering if anybody knows how to tell the left & right brake hose apart.  I suppose it will make sense when I take the wheel off and have a look however want to do whatever I can before I start.

 

Any idea on left & right ?.    there is obviously no reference to the part No on line.

Getting my front bushes replaced next week as I have really bad inside tire wear,   So decided I will have to wait another week before the new calipers go onto the front.  Dont trust the guys doing the bushes with the new calipers -although Im sounding paranoid now and there not even on !

Finally on,  had the rears on for the last few weeks and the fronts went on today after I got the front end bushes done this week.  there's only a few mm clearance on the GT335 front wheels on the spokes closest to the hub

The only thing Im not happy about is my old  DBA T3 rotors never showed any sign of rust where as these discs are showing a very fine rust ring closest to the hub (where the pads don't contact).  Im going to be really pissed if they get progressively worse and have a rust ring where the disc joins the hub.  It does simply wipe off now however dont wont to be doing that...

Hold off on that idea until someone else chimes in. Wasn't thinking properly last night - I'm not sure what effect it may have on the pads.
