Brake Fitting Question

[gbranham]

I have Wilwoods and IRS on my MkIV. I was working on the brakes this weekend, and installed the front brake hose mounts that rivet on near the F-panels, and installed the fitting and spring clips. I moved to the rear to do the same, and I don't have 2 additional hose fitting mounts, nor two additional spring clips. I looked at my inventory, and I was only shipped 2 of each. Should I have 4 of each to complete the setup?

Thanks,

Greg

I called FFR and got it sorted out. When I ordered my kit in April 2023, I ordered it with the standard 11.65" front brakes, and no rear brakes, as I planned to source my own S550 rear calipers and rotors. It was later, after I received my kit, that I decided to upgrade to Wilwoods. Apparently, when you order your kit the way I did (with no rear brakes), they don't include Box 22, which has the rear brass T-fitting, rear hose brackets, retaining clips, and e-brake cables. Seems weird that they wouldn't include those, since you'd need them regardless of which brakes you go with. Anyway, $150 later, the kit is on it's way.

I also learned that the assembly manual (the PDF version) I am using is rev 4Z from mid-2021. The current version is 5G from July 2023. I'm using rev 4Z, because that's what downloaded from the link I was emailed right after ordering my kit in April of this year. So, if you've ordered recently and downloaded the manual from that link they emailed you, make sure it's rev 5G. If not, call FFR and ask them to resend the correct link.
