    Daniel,

    If you could order what you need and have them sent to my address, I'm happy to then arrange shipping to you in Germany, to help.

      To be honest, I don't know if Ford stock them. Ordered all 4 hoses online. All genuine Ford ones. It was a bargain. TRW aftermarket are even cheaper (40 Euros for all four). But as long I can get them I go OEM. But the official Ford price is just ridiculous.

    Garry. What shade of silver did you use for your calipers? Ideally a paint code or shade would be ideal if possible?

    Thanks. Lee.

      Sorry, no code.

    Cheers Garry, top man. My mate is gonna strip the calipers and refurb/replace pistons, seals etc and paint them up himself. I just have to find some Brembo decals now. Where did you get yours from and what size are they?

    Thanks. Lee.

    Lee, i have just had a look on Google.
    Front caliper Brembo stickers are available from many places.
    The decals are approx 100 x 20 mm

      I was wondering if they would stock them, I guess so then. Clayton may have an alternative place for me to get them done. If not, I will buy all the parts from Bigg Red and my mate will strip and paint them up, fit all new pistons, seals, etc. etc.

      Thanks again Garry, very helpful for sure.

        I have spoken with James from Bigg Red today. If we need pistons, seals, or any other parts for restorations, they would be happy to offer
        our club members a generous discount.

          A very big thank you to Clayton for helping me out! The brakes lines arrived safely in germany. It's a honour to be part of this incredible club.
          I really appreciate the effort everybody puts into our cars and this club. Especially the legend himself Clayton
