Need something clearing up if someone doesn't mind taking a look

I ordered a front and rear set of hel lines seperately as didn't have the cash to get the set of 4 in one go. The fronts came first from Hel directly and they have a stickers saying fronts on top, the rears I ordered form Brake-Lines.co.uk and they don't have a sticker on and look the same as the fronts too me..

Can someone tell me if they have sent me fronts by mistake, do they look different at all?????

don't have a clue about the brake lines, but will need to visit this at some point.....

But, those two do look quite alike... :roll:
 
Surely someone on here should know whether front and rear puma braided lines differ visually? (connectors/length ect)
 
These are mine from goodridge:

There are slight differences between the fronts and rears, the rears have the longer threaded part, I would say that the non labeled ones are rears due to the connectors on them, when I fit mine I'll take some better pictures

Cheers mate, I just wanted to put off opening them if I could, it's highly likely they did send me rears, they do look so similar to the fronts and not labelled as you say.

there should be 2 different lengths. i think the longer one's go into the front but without measuring mine i cant be 100% sure.

I'll open both and check, thanks.
 
I pretty much paid top dollor for my Hel's (roughly £15 each), goodridge would have been fine but I wanted stainless steel throughout, plus they did a solid white which match my calipers.
 
Hel braided lines are made by one bloke to order in the uk so I very much doubt they would be wrong, I purchased a set from Brake lines uk for my 1991 Honda civic 1616 and the quality is second to none and fitment is perfect ;)
