Default Rear braided line advice needed

Hi,
Long story short I bought some second hand but unused rear braided lines as I needed some for my cossie (fronts are ap with banjo fittings)

The advert stated they were rears etc but just wanted to check, are the ones that usually go from the arm to chassis usually fitted with nuts both ends or not?!
Both the ones that came have nuts one end and look like a normal caliper end the other?!
The shorter line is obviously for the rear calipers so not sure if the longer ones are the beam/chassis ones or I've just been sent the front and rear caliper ones?!

Yes they are correct looking at the pics.

6 lines per kit

longer one is for the chasis/rear arm

shorter is for arm to caliper

Doesn't the chassis one have lock nuts both ends?! Or do you just use the original clip to hold it in place?!

Yes they all use half nuts to secure them to the brackets.

No u clips, sorry missed that one.

I had to bin mine as they were too thick (took up too many threads) and buy a pack off ebay M10x 1.0mm fine pitch

The problem is the short end of the longer pipe doesn't have enough thread for a nut let alone going through the bracket hence I'm a bit confused, here's a pic with the pipe on so you know what I mean

Ah yeah I see now, that looks like it's for a caliper with being so short.

Looks like you have front and rears.

The longest line should have long threads on either side.

Could they not be for the big 330's on the rear?

Not really sure mate he said it was just a normal rear set and he had used the fronts so wonder if it was a longer set for the front straight to caliper and he just used the one with nuts both end for the front and kept the hard pipe to caliper.

Should have just had the arm to chassis one made, that's all I needed as I've got APs going on the front and the rear and already have the caliper lines with banjo ends doh lol
