Has anybody done this upgrade themselves?  I have all parts now but i need to know whether uno turbo brake hoses are a straight swap fit as they have different lower fitting??

Uno brakes are a direkt swap to the 131. I had them on my replica's. No modifications needed.

I appreciate everything else fits as its on the car already. However ive used the original hoses (new) but had to cut 5/6mm off the pipe to caliper bolts because original bolts too long. It just doesnt seem right??  Id rather go with uno turbo hoses if the upper fitting is the same thread. Brakes dont feel quite perfect maybe because of the way it currently is, it is restricting fluid flow through the eyelet of the bolt whereas uno turbo lower fitting is direct screw in offering no resistance.

Just bolts shouldn't be a problem. There's enough on the market to fix this. Everything else fits right away.

Why not use braided hoses and make your own, that way you can pick the ends you want to use instead of trying to make do with a fiat part. There easy to assemble your self.
