Yes, I was referring to the brake wheel cylinders or slave cylinders as opposed to the master cylinder.
<div>What are you referring to when you say "<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: small;">Be sure that you were supplied the correct threaded hose...most suppliers do not have the early style."</span></div>
<div><font size="3">How do I identify an early style hose from a latter style hose?</font><br>

<div>Do you mean "wheel" cylinders and not "slave"...100s have a mechanical clutch. I understand that on all model Healeys the brake hoses have one threaded end and one flared end. That flare goes into the metal line nut.

<div>On the early 100 wheel cylinders they used an American AF thread but switched over to the Girling unified thread on later releases. The bleeder connection can be either in or out in shape (photo) but if the bleed screw is flat it uses the check ball (supplied in rebuild kits) and fits the recessed shape. The pointed bleeder uses no check ball. Be sure that you were supplied the correct threaded hose...most suppliers do not have the early style. Use Girling red grease on the threads.

<div style="color:#000000;font:12pt 'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;">I
will be assisting a friend to replace the flexible hoses on his 100
front brakes. He has ordered and received a set of hoses, but the
ends that thread into the slave Cyl do not match the shape of the
mating surface in the slave. The ends of the hoses are flat & it is
my understanding that the cyl. is cone shaped inside. The vender
says this is not a problem. I think it is a problem.
<div>What do you say? </div>
<div>Also, if it is an issue, where can we get a set of flex hoses
that have the correct ends for this application & are also the
correct length (I.E. Not too short)?</div>
