Has anyone used Proline rear axle lines?

[alistairolsen]

I need to replace my rear axle lines and given they're half the cost and stainless, these are very tempting over replacing them with OE hard lines with crimped flexi tails.

Has anyone used them? Do they fit properly?

Thanks

Yeah, had mine on about 2 years now.

Fit perfectly, although they retain the flexi link between the rear beam and underbody hardlines.

I believe the BRT ones are longer to remove the need for the flexi, if you preferred that.

I use them too, no issues.

I have the BRT ones and they do indeed replace the flexi which is a good thing as most cars will be crusty AF in that area.

When you were fitting yours did you have any issues with the fitting behind the axle being too tight? The nut on the Proline hoses is about 5mm longer than the hard-line that's been removed, and it's bottoming out before it touches the spring clip, it's also only leaving 17mm from the end of the fitting which means the hose is jammed against the axle at a pretty tight angle.

I seem to remember it being a bit tight and yeah it bottoms out before touching the spring clip, I think I just left mine off 🤔

Not had any issues yet.
