I've used Hel a few times and found them really quick , ie next day and I also got a good discount for sending my originals for them to copy the size and banjo type .

As an aside; Aussie builders remember we are not allowed screw fitting, only crimped. There was talk that DOT and other approval tags would be ok for pink/blue slips, but really the best way is to get them with ADR tags.

Agree with above, they are very good. I buy mine from there too Steve +2 +3 use them on all my bikes, never had a problem  Best way to work out the length of hose needed is to get some 8 or 10 mm flexible pipe, route it from the master cylinder to the caliper in the desired position, mark it then remove & measure the length you have, most of the screw on banjo's are around 25 mm long so just deduct from the overall length & chose the closest length of line above your measurement to allow a bit of slack unless it is exact. |

Well, brake lines on after a lot of swearing, nuts and bolts on man tight so struggled to get them off. Throttle cable and clutch cable now too short.
