Default Goodridge brake hoses fitting problem (pic)

I've gone to flare and form my brakes pipes on my Cosworth and the Goodridge hoses supplied done seem to fit

Am I doing something wrong here?



There not enough threads left for the Brake union. The nuts seem a bit thick, should they not be a shallow type?

Thanks!

yes thats not going to work as you wont have enough sticking through to get a compression fitting onto, are the ends both the same, otherwise your going to have to speak to goodridge and see what they recommend

Washers too thick and the nut it's the problem with the longer hose that goes between the rear arm and the body.

I've ordered up some m10 stainless half nuts and I'll use thinner washers.

If it works I'll be complaining to Goodridge
