Fitting Exact Rear Braided Brakelines...
Went to fit them this morinig and found they didn't fit through the eye on the bracket...
Do i just need to drill/file the hole out so that it fits through then tighten the nut over the top to hold it in place?
Or is there something else i need to do?
Can't not use the brackets or the lines will keep hitting the trailing arm/shocks...
Any help would be much appreciated 
James

They should actually go through with a bit of a wiggle. I've never had a problem

Its odd.
Not sure if some brackets were made incorrectly orby some one else but this happens every now and again at randow.
Just drill / file it out

Cheers guys, spent all afternoon trying to refit the brackets as the bolts and threads have been off for three months and didn't want to go back in
I'll get the file out and get them fitted through the week

Holy thread resurrection batman
But I've got the passenger one on
How the F do I get the drivers side on!?!?
I've undone the pipe from the caliper at the flexi end but I can't seem to get any rotation on the spanner on the other end of the flexi, I can get the spanner over it but there's no room to tap it or really turn it due to the fuel filler pipe
Is there a trick to it?
Do I remove the bracket?
Do I need to drop the beam?
Help!!!!
