Default Problem with Pro-Line Brake Hoses

Hi, just wondered if anyone else has had any problems fitting these?

When I tried getting mine fitted on the front we couldn't get the black grommet to fit securely anywhere on the springs/shockers as the seller says it should and the screw part which connects to the shell seemed too long, wouldn't go in enough to fit the retaining clips.

These are the parts I mean:






Does anyone know if they're the correct ones? Wondering if maybe I've been sent the wrong type. I've got a widetrack Blobeye STi. JDM model if that matters?
I bought them from the seller on here - https://www.scoobynet.com/car-parts-...line-kits.html

I've been in contact with the seller but he's not replied to my last message so just wondering if anyone else has any info or had problems before I chase him up again.
Thanks in advance

That's the wrong locator for the shocks, what does the inside of that female look like?

And it didn't come with a part number. Literally got delivered in that clear bag with a pro line business card and that's it.

It looks ok, sometimes there can be millimetres in the machining it might need tightening a little. Either way the locator is wrong for your car and I would ask for new ones or a refund?

Thanks for that.
He's been really off about a refund as expected, saying its special order and I've attempted fitting even though it was never mentioned the blue ones were special order only and how I was to know they wouldn't fit before trying I'll never understand. Anyway, he's offered to change the locators previously but will still push for a refund/change as the female connector needed more than just tightening a little more to fit right.
Thanks again for your help.

No problem mate, they were using different females before so not sure about these new look ones? Ask about the older ones they had.
