MINI2 - MINI Forum - View Single Post - Goodridge Brakeline kits pre/post Sept '03- what's the difference?

Hi,

I have a 2002 MC and I ordered a Goodridge brakeline kit off eBay.

Goodridge's catalogue states that there are two kits available for the Mini-
one for cars up to Sept 2003 (SBW1100) and
one for cars from Sept 2003 onwards (SBW1150).

So I ordered the SBW1100. Well lo and behold, after a 2-week wait the kit finally arrived.... the WRONG kit.

I told the seller, and he said "I was told they are both the same kits by Goodridge - is this not the case?"

I find it hard to believe that Goodridge would bother with two separate part numbers for the same kit. And I don't want to dismantle my car, only to find out that they're NOT the same, Plus doing so would mean that this kit would be dirtied and not returnable.

So I beg of anyone out there who might have experience of both kits - ARE they interchangeable? What's the difference between them?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Jonathan
