<html><body>Bill-correct, these are cylinders that I had sleeved by Apple for the rear of the 100 (with handbrake mechanism) They in fact questioned why there were two different type of receiver "ports" for the same item. Yes, they receive steel lines. The flex line is at the three way connector. Every supplier for current hoses show one flat end and one flared end for use in ALL Healeys. The flare going into the flare nut of the steel line. Copper washers are then used at the "flat "end into the wheel cylinder..

Correction as I notice the cylinders shown appear to be double
ended, they would probably be used on the rear brakes and the
“inee” and “outee” ports would be the supply ports for the solid
tubes from the three way fitting on the axle housing. Both of the
other ports would be bleeders.</div>

<div>The Girling brakes cylinders I have dealt with use a copper
washer to seal to the supply port. They didn’t use any type of
flare. The “inee” and “outee” ports on the cylinders shown were
made to match a bubble flare or a double flare solid line
respectively. These are the transfer ports between the double
cylinders on the Girling dual leading shoe braking system used on
the front of the 100 and 100-6. The transfer pipes currently
available use double flares on both ends so the bubble flare port
may not be compatible. The The ports that are angled are the
correct ports for the supply hoses (upper) and bleeder screws
(lower). The hoses screw into the upper angled port and seal with
copper washers. The bleeder screws as noted may use a tapered
sealing surface or a flat surface with a round indentation and a
small steel ball.</div>

<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><br></div>
<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. Hank<br><br><div class="x_x_reply-new-signature"></div>

Subject: [Healeys] 100 front brakes<br><br><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>
