R.3.2.G.T.R Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 all sorted, on the front where the lines meet the hard line, the thread was squashed a bit on the tip due to being overly tight, it was very hard un-doing it in the 1st place so perhaps over done by factory Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330303-diy-hel-braided-brake-line-install/page/4/#findComment-5995931 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTZ Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 finally decided to do this today and i must say Im not a fan of this setup at the front, the way it sticks out from the caliper. I'm tempted to get an angled fitting to fix it ..would of been much better utilizing the factory line to the caliper with another female adapter at the bracket..but oh well.. Also did you tie it up at the back at all, i was thinking a little bracket to hold it up to that bolt where the original bolted up..shouldnt be too hard all in all went well, I didnt have any wd40 left so i took a chance and just gave them all a love tap with the hammer and was all set to brag about not rounding any until the very last one got the better of me..1 out of 8 isnt bad i guess..had to get the vice grips on it and it let go with a snap, it was stuck good...still didnt round it though so it will go back together fine.. Anyway, i trust nobody has encountered any problems with theres yet..

gotRICE? Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I thought the same thing when i put mine in. Hasnt been an issue mind you. Out of sight, out of mind Heres hoping one day it doesnt come back to mind when i lean on the brakes and the pedal meets the floor.

tN^ Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) i like to add to this post by saying: -when fitted there's gap. the gap is fine. dont try to tighten it more as it will x-thread the hole. if you do cross thread it, then it CAN be retapped with a helicoil.

B-rice Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Does it matter if I empty out the master cylinder. Or is there a way to stop all the fluid flowing out of the master cylinder. I'm trying to avoid having to bleed the master cylinder after it goes too low Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330303-diy-hel-braided-brake-line-install/page/4/#findComment-7469069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
