Wilwood Braided Hose Orientation Jan 22, 2019 17:52:17 GMT

For those who have fitted Wilwood 4 pots, with new extended braided lines with a 90 degree fitting at the caliper end, which way did you point the bend?

I had them pointing down, but on full lock it's hitting either the lower wishbone or the tire (or both). Had a quick play around trying different places and then it was hitting the strut or upper wishbone. I'll hopefully be able to have another look tomorrow but need to get it sorted as the MOT is due end of the week and pretty certain it'll fail if the hoses touch anything.

Is that just what came with your kit, or did you get a different hose made up?

I know that freakyparts changed, or mayhaps my kit is a freak. A friend got 90-degree hose fittings with his kit, couldn't get it to clear.

It does clear, but it's a bit poo. They would be better if the ends were straight.

Great thanks for the info both. Think it's not helping that my hoses are potentially faulty anyway as the crimps are spinning too meaning any slight twist i try and put into the hose to get it to not touch doesn't hold true.

Freakyparts are speaking to HEL about it too, but i can't help but think straight ends are the answer, although they said they change to 90 degree fittings because people were having problems with the straight connectors

To close this off, HEL sent replacement hoses with straight ends, fit perfectly with no issues at all.
