mdunbar Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I recently had some new brake discs and pads fitted, as part of the kit I got some brake hoses. I got a local mechanic to fit the parts. He's no specialist, but for fitting parts and basic servicing has always proved good in the past. I neither have the time, nor the inclination, to do any work myself and have little technical knowledge... hence the question... He advised me that the brake hoses supplied did not fit. So, everything went on except the hoses. Looking at the OEM parts and those supplied they do look very different, but I wanted a second opinion before returning the parts to the trader on here and potentially wasting their time. I might add they have been great. Car is a 2003 UK 350Z with Rays and Brembos. The photos I was shown of those on the car look like this with a box type fitting: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/03-04-05-06-NISSAN-350Z-BASE-RF-WHEEL-BRAKE-LINE-HOSE-OEM-/390640244181?hash=item5af3f915d5:g:cJAAAOxyF81SAlt9 Those supplied are here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9TzG4SWiCpIQ21SZ3YzWEtqTlk/view?usp=sharing Should they fit? Do I need to return them or take them to another garage? Don't laugh... I know I know nothing about how cars work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The Stoptech lines in your link are for the rears. The other image looks like they are from a non Brembo front set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdunbar Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have fronts and rears. eBay link was purely for demo purposes as they look similar with the box type fitting. Do those hoses look right for car described then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The Stoptech in your image should fit the Brembo rears 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdunbar Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I thought so. I've been fobbed off. I'll take them to another garage. Thank you 👠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdunbar Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Here are the fronts by the way: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9TzG4SWiCpIRWE5bldDSDgxT1U/view?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 They should fit too, looks like banjo bolts rather than the factory method of attaching them, but they should still fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Here are the fronts by the way: https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing Yeah, they will do the job. In both instances you do away with the hard lines and take the Stoptech lines direct to the caliper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
