EcoFriendlyAL Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) HI, I just bought some brake lines (Yes I bought HEL, before reading on here about them. http://www.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT When I got them the box was half open and held together with sticky tape. So I started to wonder if there were parts missing, ie the bolts to attach the lines. Anyway I've noticed there are two types of connector, one is a looped end the other a nut over the endings. See the photos. So the question is, do the bolts only come with the loop ended ones? I bought the none loop type, have I bought the right type? I have 2004 DE with Brembo calipers.

ZMANALEX Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Not sure what you mean by looped end or nut end. However, in your first image the line goes direct to the caliper and remember and use the copper washers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoFriendlyAL Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 There are two types of connector, the one I call loop are called banjo connectors and require a bolt with a hole running through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Make sure you also have additional p-clip for front calipers. I had mine installed about 4 months ago, no issues what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what you have in your first image and these fit directly to the Brembo caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 p-clips which came with the brake lines. I'm pretty sure I have bought the right lines. Trouble is a lot of ads on Ebay use a stock photo of any set of brake lines just to illustrate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they all use stock images and you will only know once you got the item on hand. Good to know you've got the right one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
