    Ok so with further investigation I think I have earls teflon hosed and fittings. IMG_20190114_174956892.jpg

    So I am going to order new lines. Are you supposed to change out all the fittings when you change out the lines? IMG_20190111_104835909.jpg

    It looks like you have pre fabbed/crimped 3an lines

    So your banjo 3an bolts leaking, you just need new washers for the banjo bolts

    The lines if you are happy with the lengths then yes replac them with pre fab lines if you want, or make your own.

    The only thing to note, those lines don't have a heat shrink sleeve/coating.

    If they make the same lines with the coating ur good, if not I would recommend buying bulk coated (black) line and 3an fittings and make them yourself

    Thanks Pranav. The replacement I have is 1.5" shorter than what is on the car now. Making my own seems like the way to go. I will need to find out what the banjo height is for these calipers but once that;s known it should be straight forward.

    Yeah, if you want to go one step further you can make hose ends that have banjos built in; did that on mine for the rear calipers to reduce the number of fittings in my brake system, but did seperate banjo + 3an on the front to make it easier to take stuff apart in a pinch.

    The hose I use for brakes and clutch:

    Assembling this stuff is easy and hard to screw up; just make a clean straight cut with a hacksaw/air body saw and clean it out real good. I also like to take coat hanger wire and run it inside the hose to support the hose structurally when making the cut, but make sure you can push it back out from the other side.

    Biggest thing is to route in such a way the hose never kinks. Turns out my clutch hose that blew up was kinked bad as it was routed to make a sharp 90* out of the bellhousing; just poor routing on my part.

    Also good practice to keep at least one spare fitting of each type you use, or just keep your old stuff in the spares box.
