front brake flexi hose thread longer

[V Man]

Hello peeps




I have bought a new flexi for the front brakes from local factors and the thread is a bit longer than the original so it does not fully wind into the caliper. Does this matter? There are a couple of threads showing still although it has probably sealed it just doesn't look right?

Yo G, aye i'm pretty sure thats fine, if memory serves they seal off on a 37 degree taper inside the fitting so its not seaing on the thread. might be agood idea to whip it off and just check that the end of the fitting is as described.

Yo!
Yeah it looks ok. Given it a blast with eazy bleed and compared the end with old. It seems fine!

aye just checked mine and ive got about 3-4mm of thread sticking up above the caliper!
