jason_l Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Sounds like they are the wrong ones. They should be a straight fit, best to contact the supplier and see what they say!I have ordered direct from Hel before and they have been spot on! I had a custom made clutch cable (nearly 2m long) and they made the cable and delivered next day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 You may have rounded the thread while getting the new lines on? I did it to my old ones and had to order a new hard line.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 what amjad said. not saying you have but its what i did aswell. didnt take much force because the hard line and nut on the end were so old. also the front couple of mm on the hel lines male part arnt threaded so you dont get many threads into it before its as far as it will go hence it being easy to strip.

dan_91 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 no definantly can tell its the wrong size, it slipped off while puttin it on hand tight so definatly not that plus no damage too the threads, i checked lol. because thats what i thought id done. must b the wrong ones then. bugger!

Keri-WMS Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Did you get to the bottom of this in the end?Do you mean one line/starlet takes a larger thread size to another? (M 8 and M10 ....or M10 and M12 maybe?)First I've heard of this if so.....on any Toyota in fact. ---------------------------------I can't say M 8 without a space, the forum changes it to "mate"! Argh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
