Mclintock205 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Got my hel braided brake lines and couldnt get them to fitExcuse me for possibly being daft but never done brakes/ lines before . Theres a slight difference to the inside of the lines wich isnt allowing the new line to catch the threads. Ebay seller got in contact with hel and said everything i described etc and pictures along with my issue it should be fitting.Seen some pictures with slighty longer ends on them (not from hel) was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue?http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/mclintock_5/media/20170206_124447_zpslt9fsfqw.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/mclintock_5/media/20170206_124735_zps10tpuyin.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0Thanks for any help in advance !

Keri-WMS Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Do us a favour and use the image embedding thing in your post please - so we can see the images here. If you have to click on the link photobucket bombards us with adverts. In the split second I saw the image before photobucket went mental, isn't the sealing part on one of them concave and the other convex?!!! Get the images up and I'll have another look.

Mclintock205 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 How do i do that with images. Yes theres a difference to the inside of the lines but hel are saying it should still fit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 EDIT - Cheers Adzy! Copy the "direct link" to the image from photobucket. Click the "image" button here .... under the smiley... and paste the link in there where it says URL. And you get, for instance, one of our lines! The caliper end is WMS (4 pot caliper), the chassis end and the strut link are "OEM" fit and as close to Toyota OEM as we could manage. Or lines come with a more OEM clip too these days. Maybe we should start doing OEM replacement braided lines too..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 As to whether swapping from convex seal to concave will work / is safe........I'd rather not comment other than saying "no comment"!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
