Braided brake line problems

[Marston]

Hello

a quick question for everyone. I ordered some braided brake lines from hel performance and the end fittings on the rear lines don't go through the retaining brackets attached to the suspension

has anybody else encountered this problem?

Are the rears proper 2-piece hard and braided line or just braided all the way? OE lines use hardlines for most of the route along the beam/rear arms and go flexi at the end... not many aftermarket replacements are available because of this and I am assuming you are trying to reuse these clips for the new pipe? if so then no, they won't fit as the braided hose will be a larger diameter..

OE hoses are braided anyway...

I had this issue with HEL ones and just didn't fit them.

Yeah it's the two piece hard lines to braided lines. Haha fair one that's why they never have people sending the back because they just don't fitted.

think Ill just leave them then thanks for the advice

Took hel 3 times to send me the right set of rears for my 8P each set was different despite giving hel the brake spec details for my car so it was third time luckly for them.
