Post Modified brake hoses on Metro 4 pot caliper.
When I fitted the Metro 4 pot calipers to my Coupe I used a HEL brake line kit which is a bit unusual as it uses banjo fittings on all the caliper ends. The link hose on the caliper also sticks out at a wierd angle to clear the CV joint and boot.

It fouled on the inner arches on my car and quickly chafed through the heat shrink coating (arrowed).

As we don't use the CV joint on the Coupe I had a new pair of link pipes made up with 45 degree fittings.

This pulled the hoses round very neatly and gave plenty of wheel arch clearance whilst still leaving enough clearance between the hose and what's left of the CV joint.
