How have you connected the braided line for the feed to the connector (3), as this is a clip type connection as standard?

Have you used a worm drive type clip?



Thanks

Did you try use the original plastic clip at all, i'm thinking of pushing it inside the new teflon braided line and using a worm drive clip to tighten the seal.

Thanks

The picture shows the correct push on connector same as the standered hose clip but with provision for the adapter for braided lines

My own trailer at last got it for a good price spent the day sussing out wiring problem only had indicators now everything works.

Had to order the led type stop tail as these are a sealed unit and won't end up like the ones already on (lamps rusted in holder) new led fogs ordered too and new side reflectors quick lick of paint (weather permitting ) tommorow wheels gone in for shot blasting then spray new tyres brakes to service all before next sat I do put myself under pressure!!

ive learnt in life no-one is going to do it for you so you need to succeed yourself ,i set my self little goals and try to achieve every day ,whether it be at work or play plus it stops me from going to the pub and waisting my hard earned by pissing it up the wall.

doing something you dont enjoy time drags but doing something you enjoy time fly's by !!

and i am a practical person just love it really keeps me busy mate
