Anybody her called d***v (402) who bought a set of these on eBay - 11th March at 18:06?
Because if you did you are about to find out they don't fit!
Female ends fitted are Metric 10 X 1mm when they should be 10mm X 1.25mm

On first inspection they look spot on - my eyes can barely notice the 0.25mm difference on the female thread end and of course with the old pipe ends being a little stiff when you attempt to screw them in, you wont notice anything ....... until it strips.

Anyway, just a warning to anybody thinking of purchasing these - nice and cheap though they are ....£66.99 all in!   

I also double checked the fittings are not wrong/ been altered on the HPE i attempted to fit them to .... and they're not - just to be absolutely sure.

I think that you must be mistaken, i was able to screw the male pipe fittings into the new flexis by hand without problem. The brake hoses have now been fitted and used for 3 weeks including passing an MOT.

I did however complain to the seller as i had to reuse the fittings from my old hoses and left a negative feedback.

hutch6610:
Well thats rather strange as none of the two sets i have fit!
Its possible the two i have were made up with the wrong ends however and i have checked , double checked and triple checked on every available old hose with the fittings that i have removed over the years and not one fits properly.

Good luck to you - i think i was unlucky in getting a duff batch.

Yes .... bit naughty of them not to have the rubber fittings.

lanciamad:
I was looking at both black diamond and goodridge a while back, and decided on goodridge in the end, saved myself some bother by the looks of things.

hutch6610:
You S-U-R-E did Marcus!
As i said earlier they may just be a duff set - can i win the Lottery .... NO, can i pick ..... not one, but two rejects from a pile of brake hoses?
YOU BET.
