Default Goodridge lines query

Well I attempted to fit the brake lines today and found a little problem.

Either Honda have change the fitting on the end of their brake pipes >07 or I have the wrong hoses or both

The Goodridge lines I have are a male fitment for the pipe within the captive mounting nut and the Honda pipes are also a male fitment, see my problem Well you don't because I was to peeved to take pictures.
But one of them needs to be female to seal correctly.

Anyone else managed to fit Goodridge lines to an 07> car???
Goodridge only list one part number, so I'm going to mail them to ask if they are aware of any MY changes.

I fitted some Goodridge hose to a 02 car with no problems.

On the "car end" of the Goodridge hose you should have a female connector, which screws into a male connection on the car.

The "caliper end" of the hose has a open donut end on it, which the banjo bolt goes through and attachs to the caliper.

Sounds to me like they have sent you the wrong hoses.

Totally agree ..

Car is male, hose is female connector. Caliper end is banjo's.

The lines also have plastic mounting bits sleeved on (to hold the hose away from moving parts).

forget about this
Some of the yanks have had issues getting the hoses to fit +06 cars.
I got them to fit my 06 car OK though.
Do a search on UTH
