I fitted HEL braided lines to the front of my Gsxr last weekend, they were a new, boxed set off eBay. And guess what?

One bolt had the wrong sized thread also. I had to reuse one of my old bolts which looks crap!

Was it one of the caliper bolts you had to re-use and did you tell Hel about the problem mate.

HEL send enough wrong pitched/length/bent parts out to sink a ship.

Brake line makers aren't helped by OEM brake manufacturers not sticking to the same thread pitch.

I've got a Nissin M/C from a S model & one from a naked model. One has a fine pitch thread the other has a coarse pitch. Why?

Unless they've checked every banjo bolt, this is going to happen. They've probably checked one banjo bolt from one manufacturer and assumed they are all the same.

I had the same problem as you

While this is a fairly common problem, for the reasons stated above, HEL are good at sending on replacement parts (pretty quickly too). I called on a Tuesday morning and got a bolt at lunchtime next day.
