HAMLNJ Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Hi guys, when I bought my zed I was given a set of hel brake lines. The old owner wasn't sure if they are the correct ones though. They have a hel brochure but no product code or barcode. Does anyone have any measurements? Quote
WhackyWill Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 HEL, not the best on the market for a Zed...problems with them fitting correctly. Quote
HAMLNJ Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Oh really? Surprised as they are the cheapest. If they do fit, better than the standard ones? Quote
wizurd Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Apparently there's been some issues with getting the banjo connectors to seal properly on the calipers. Not everyone has that problem though. Newer hel lines have a modified connector for the caliper that gets rid of that issue. Other lines are available Quote
HAMLNJ Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Don't fancy them failing. Do they just weep if they are not working properly? Or would a garage instantly say...errhh....no, not happening. And through them in the bin. Quote
Keyser Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Only ever had the problem with 1 set (I have fitted a few for owners) It's more the casting on the back of the Brembo that does not seal - you will know as soon as you try to bleed them if they have a poor seal. 1 Quote
KyleR Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 HEL lines are fine, better than stock and I'd trust them no end more than any brand I don't know. I don't know the names of the various fittings but if you give CS a pm with the measurements and what ends you have he will probably have a set in stock that he could check against for you 1 Quote
HAMLNJ Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 Good idea! Though I don't 'want to bother him when I'm not spending any money, though I am sure i will be soon. Quote
Jp606 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Very good lines, you won't have a problem if they are installed properly. Maybe email HEL themselves? The reason they have no product code etc, is because they are all hand made to order. 1 Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Nothing wrong with hel lines. Just clean up the sealing face on the back of the caliper and make sure they are routed and secured correctly. 1 Quote
