Black Diamond Brake Lines - Fensport
I bought some Black Diamond brake lines from Fensport a few years ago and have just now tried fitting them at the end of my rebuild.

Lovely looking lines, however the fitting at the caliper end does not seal. I am using standard 2022 calipers on the front and standard rear calipers.

As you can see, the chamfer is wrong (convex). There is a very small concave chamfer with a 1 mm wall thickness around the lumen.

Spoke to Tony at Fensport whose answer was that they will fit as they are chamfered both ways. Well I have and they don't. They seep with only gravity. The old line is what the fitting looks like on a factory line

Black Diamond haven't responded as yet to my email and I am contacting Tony again.

I can only assume they have put the wrong fitting on the end of the line.

Has anyone else had experience with these lines on an AE86
