JamesD89 Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Bought the hel kit from TD, Can't get the line running to the front of the master cylinder to stop leaking, now looking at the Google images, this line appears to have a bend at both ends but mine doesn't. Could someone please confirm this for me as I think my kit is off, also the line running along the bulkhead to the n/s seems too long, Any one else had these problems?cheers Edited June 12, 2016 by JamesD89 Quote
Ollieh17 Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 I think the lines that go into the master cylinder are different threads than the ones elsewhere. I had one a leaking one and got another made up with a different threaded Quote
JamesD89 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 Sorry about the pic, can't seem to rotate itI think the lines that go into the master cylinder are different threads than the ones elsewhere. I had one a leaking one and got another made up with a different threadedWas that the TD kit mate? Don't really wanna get another made up when it's supposed to be a factory fit, pissed off its a pig of a job with everything still in the bay. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Yeh think so, bought it second hand though. Just make sure you havent go on of the other hoses in the wrong place Quote
JamesD89 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 Downloaded the fitting guide and the line in question is indeed supposed to have a 90 degree bend at both ends which mine doesn't Quote
Flynn Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 I've just gone through the same shit mate. Apart from the job being an absolute cu*nt my kit also came with the line without the appropriate bends. I managed to swap it for another line in the system (sorry don't remember which one) and you can get it all to work mate! Quote

JamesD89 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 Also got a problem with the Hel rear brake lines, does anybody know if they come with any circlips or anything? at the moment they are not being held in place by the factory brackets and I don't wanna drive it around with them rattling around near the springs etc?Cheers Quote
Flynn Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Lol I had that problem too Whack another clip behind and it should be ok (might have to jam it in at a different angle) Quote
Flynn Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 You've really got to tighten the hell out of the lines, had to nip a few of mine up again and re bleed, nightmare. I did mine without removing the intake lol never again Quote
