wilkorangerover Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 For my facelift 1996 with factory fitted uk brakes, iam buying some HEL braided brake lines, has anyone bought these ? if so do i need part number jza80 , or sc300, or sc400 ?

pedrosixfour Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 JZA80. Was this a trick question? To assuage your fears I belive the Supra's lines are compatible to both the small and large type of calipers so the JZA80 items listed on the Hel website would work for both types too.

Swampy442 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 But you could have used the SC300 lines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I bought Hel ones for my facelift with uk fronts last year some time but when i fitted them the lines werent long enough, i couldnt get full lock on the steering (otherwise it would have pulled the bugger off!!!) It was too late for me to send them back as they had been sat in my workshop for about 6 months before i got around to fitting. They were specially for the supra (says so on the box) Could have been a blip/ dodgy batch but thought id give you a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were specially for the supra (says so on the box) Could have been a blip/ dodgy batch but thought id give you a heads up. I too bought a set and although they wasnt preventing me getting full lock, they were a real tight fit and the dressing of the pipe was crucial to get them to fit. I also misjudged how much of my rear wheels and tyres was inward and didnt check that I had clearance resulting in one of the pipes rubbing ever so slightly on the outer tyre edge resulting in damage. The way you dress the HEL pipes seems really critical due to being slightly short, the Goodridge ones I replaced them with were a joy to fit by comparison.

Robzki Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The best colour I think you'll find 'Putrid purple' I think its called A close match would be 'vaguely vomit' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 You do realise this is a massive insult to a man who owns a large, Do Luck car painted purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 What I meant was that it is horrible that I have to hide such a lovely colour behind the wheels. who wouldn't like 'pulchritudinous purple' or 'vaguely Violet' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
