Hi Rob, sounds like you have sorted it now. The hex heads are slightly smaller, but you only need to 'nip' the bulkhead nut to hold the pipe in place & with them being new stainless, I find just running the nut down then holding the 'swaged' part of the pipe is enough.
Your an expert now Rob, the back one's will be a doddle.

Right, might have done the trick.. Good thing my blood stopped boiling last week. Unfortunately i missed out on a DeLorean event, but there will be others.

Is the thread long enough to put a penny washer either side, maybe?

Price is really good. Those who have installed these SS lines, any issues? Any problems with installations? Do they give you a better braking compare to the standard rubber lines?
thank you

I fitted a set of Bandits brake lines and to be honest taking the old ones off were the most problematic part.

Yes, braking was firmer than before (as my old brake lines flexed)

Hi Ryan, I've just pm'd you a reply on the shipping request. Pretty simple to fit, best advise is soak your originals each day for a few days before you romove them. They can be a little corroded after 30 yrs.
