Issues after HEL Brake Line install.

[Junkyardspecial]

I'll try to keep this short. The HEL lines seem a bit too short in the rear for proper routing and I am not a fan of how they sit. I would like to remedy this and have already contacted HEL as they may have given me incorrect lengths.

For those who have installed them, how did you have them routed? I watched a few videos and those instructions didnt work for me.

Did you watch this video?

Yes, that routing seems incorrect. My line might be too short to route that way. I ended up redoing it by looping the line under the caliper. Much less torsion on the line and not close to the wheel hub.

Hmmmmm...seemed to fit great. Do you have a photo of what you did?

I was about to ask you the same! They're poor photos but. First photo is the original routing from your video and others, tried inverting it but the metal hard line part will rest on the actuator. On the front they gave me two left side lines so I am just wondering If this an incorrect kit or something.

Seems like different line lengths for sure.

do you have any photos of your final routing for the rears?

Photos, no, but it's in the video. I revised the segment and labeled it "top tip".
