Does anybody have Scrap iron stainless brake lines on here? I ordered a set of rubber covered stainless brake lines from Scrap iron racing at the Malvern show (i should of realised when the gent in the que in front of me asked for a set of plus two brake lines for a Defender and the man serving him then sent a boy into the back of the lorry for plus two Defender brake lines, the lad came back with a packet bulging with the brake lines, the customer asked if he needed all those brake lines for his Defender? a quick investigation revealed that the boy had put two more standard length brake lines in the pack hence plus two. i should of walked away then}}. I was told they would take a week to deliver. Two weeks later the hoses arrived without the adapters, i found out after reading the c**p instructions so got got back on the phone and they said they would send some out. nearly two weeks later no sign of the adapters. I ring again and am told leave it a couple of more days as they are in the post. A couple of days pass still no sign i ring again and i am told that i will have a set by noon tomorrow. 4 o'clock the next day still no sign of the adapters. I ring yet again and i'm told they didn't go out in the post, you will have them by noon tomorrow.

Eventually the adapters arrive today. i have two adapters for each hose and a nut. The instructions mention a 'o' ring which i can not see anywhere.

Has anybody had any of these brake lines and if so what bits should you get and how does it all fit?

I now wish i got the Goodridge ones and WILL NEVER EVER DEAL WITH SCRAP IRON AGAIN.
