Title: options?
Post by: xandyx on October 24, 2011, 10:26:15 PM
today when i was fitting my braided brake lines this happend!

is it normal to have that space between the washer? it's full tightened!

should i put more washers on it, or should i shave the brake line tip?

Get them made with the correct depth ends- they're conical so seal there, for the sake of £30 don't risk your car/life!

Send them back. More washers = uber pikey.

very bizarre! they were unfitted and came with the G40 breadvan I was breaking. Where did the reciept say they were purchased from as I cant remember. I assume you are fitting them to VWII Calipers.

If you have problems, feel free to send them back to me back and I will send a full refund, less postage (plus the refund I owe you from carriage anyway)
