Pesky Germans have admitted their database is wrong. So hopefully get my new rears ASAP. :thumb3:
Excellent news, well done! Pity they couldn’t get it right the first time round, I feel somewhat responsible for pointing you in their direction :(

Whats the best way to stop air getting in the system by it draining while the callipers are off? Quite fancy getting the callipers refurbed, but unsure what to do to stop the system fully draining while they are off. Would fitting a spare pair be best, or plug the ends to stop it?

If you are changing the hoses just clamp them. If not I would probably use a piece of silicone pipe pushed on to the fitting (rears) and then clamp that. For banjos (fronts) you could use a nut and bolt and the old copper washers then just replace them when refitting. Or buy the £45 universal clamp and bung sets.

No worries. They are perfect bit of kit if they send you the right ones. I am assuming their QP info was wrong as you got the right ones. No hardship it isn't going anywhere yet anyway!

They look great Gaz! I’ve got the alu dead pedal that Stindig made so I’m ok on the pedal front :)
