Goodridge also do them for the S12. The rears replace both smaller lines with one single "long" line, however, they need to be clipped in place on the subframe to stop them getting trapped.

The fronts are direct replacements but when the car is jacked up and it's on full lock they are a little on the tight side, some MOT testers will complain about this but they can usually be talked around.

They do them in Zinc plated or Stainless steal and they are around £70 for the full set.

I got my set from http://www.motorsportworld.com but you might find them cheaper buy hunting for them

Good find! You'd probably have trouble with them on your setup but they are ok on a Standard road car.

I have this kit no problem, except that it's 2 pairs; where can order the pair of middle rear, please? Because I have DOT 5.1 brake fluid and i think that i need to change them.
Cheers.

if you have the Goodridge kit then you don't need the middle line on the rear as it replaces everything from the copper brake line to the caliper. You just have to secure it to the car or it might end up in your rear suspension!
