Need a new set of braided flex hoses for the rear.
Like the look of these on ebay but the connectors are different from my old ones. Mines have the connector on the left of the photo at both ends. They were changed years ago from standard so never seen the spring clips supplied with these, do they go where the rigid pipes meet the flexis on the chassis rail?
Sorry thought I could just post the photo, no go so here's the link:

No body? It's 14 years since I drove it and probably 19 since I rebuilt the front end so I'm a bit rusty, as are my tools

Thanks for that, don't want to buy them and find out they are no use.
Not really up on brake pipe fittings and already went through 50ft of pipe trying to make new brakelines. Mine are better than the crappy attempt the garage did but I want them spot on.

Thanks for that as I took a chance and ordered them yesterday. Just need the clips that hold them to the dampers now.

Bought these, nice enough made but my car must be an alien!
The end that goes through the bracket on the rear chassis leg wouldn't fit.
The hole thru it has a flat side, took the wee grinder and made them fit but was a lot happier when both ends were the same and I could get a nut and washer holding it to this bracket.
Getting the spring clip affairs on over all the paint and gravitex is going to be a pain and not convinced it's nearly as strong as the old set up.
