Which system is on my car?

[John Bryan]

1974 2200SC. I have been looking for braided brake hoses and have been offered Tandem system and Single system. How do I tell what system is fitted to my car?

It should be single system.

 

[John Bryan]

It should be single system.

Thank you. I'm new to P6 ownership, so I have a lot to learn. I'll be asking a lot of silly questions.

Just out of interest what car would a Tandem system be fitted to? A V8 maybe?

Mostly North American market cars. They aren't like modern dual circuit systems as the circuits are split front and back so the actual wheel end bits are the same. Don't let the new braided hoses touch anything as they can transmit considerably more noise than the soft rubber type.

OK. Thanks Mike.

Add Swedish market cars to the list.
