HEL is the right choice in braided lines. Stainless steel fittings as standard.

Goodridge also good, but surpassed now by HEL imho

Hi Aztec,

Just curious the HEL lines havent gone on yet but disc and pads have. My mechanic will tackle the hoses later but was little concerned about the fittings of the HEL lines. Am I correct in saying he shouldn't have a problem fitting them with the new fixtures. If I can remember he was concerned about breaking the clips which hold the lines to the caliper or rod. Not sure exactly what he was concerned about but remember him muttering something. Should the HEL lines be straight forward or should he be careful with certain things.

Thanks

easy when i did mine?!

the black block bit goes through the metal hanger on the sturt then is held in place with old metal clip from oem item,

and the line goes through the black block this is why i like them as the line is free to move through the block.

hope this helps
