Braided steel brake line Multivan VW T7 Bus Porsche Brembo Mercedes AMG Porsche Brake conversion

Yes – basically the braided steel line can also fit many other vehicles if the connection data matches. In practice, many manufacturers use very similar thread sizes for brake line fittings, so using them across different models is often possible.

What really matters

To ensure the line fits securely and tightly, you need to match three main points:

1. Thread size / connection

• The key factor is what thread your vehicle has at the connection points (e.g., at the fixed line connection or brake caliper).

• This thread size must match the fittings of the line.

2. Sealing surface (concave or convex)

• Often, the problem is not the thread, but the sealing shape on the counterpart:

  • concave (valley) or

  • convex (hill)

• Our fittings are so-called “hybrid” connections. This means: Each connection is designed to reliably seal with both concave and convex sealing surfaces. This makes the line significantly more versatile.

3. Length and routing

• You need to determine the required length suitable for your vehicle (ideally as described above: fully extend, simulate routing, check steering).

• Only if the line is long enough and can be routed cleanly is it truly suitable.

How to quickly check if it fits

• Determine the thread size on the vehicle (and compare it with the data of the line)

• Measure the line length

• Check the technical data in the product description – there you will find all the details about the line and the connections.

The 2 lens seals are not automatically always installed, but only when they are needed to compensate for the sealing cone on the respective counterpart. Background: Depending on the vehicle/connection, there are different flaring or sealing shapes – and that's exactly why the lenses are always provided as a precaution.

What are the lens seals for?

They serve as a compensating piece when the cone on the connection (counterpart) does not perfectly match the steel braided hose. This ensures that the connection seals cleanly.

Where are they used?

If needed, the lens seals are placed directly into the connection with internal thread – that is, into the “female” fitting on the vehicle/distributor/brake caliper, before you screw in the hose.
The hose presses the lens into its seat when tightened, thus creating the seal.

When do you need them – and when not?

• F flare (DIN/ISO cone, usually fits):
  → Lens seals are not needed.
  The hose usually seals directly over the matching cone here.

• E flare:
  → Lens seals must be used.
  Simply place it into the internal thread, then screw in the hose and tighten as usual.

Installation note

The installation direction does not matter – you can install the lens either way, it makes no difference.
