MINI has redesigned the way the brake lines attach to the caliper as of the March 2003 build and the pre-March Stainless lines DO NOT FIT!! Keep that in mind if you're researching brake lines. Goodridge is working on getting new fittings for the new setup and should have a product available soon. I'm sure other Braided Stainless Steel Brake Line manufacturers are finding out the same thing and revamping their product.

As some of you may know they (Goodridge) have updated the pre March 2003 lines to allow for a deeper threaded fitting. The current one 'bottoms out' before it should. Just a word of warning, ask which set you're getting before purchasing. It's no fun to have your car up on jacks only to find out you've got the wrong part!
