HEL braided clutch line not fitting correctly MK3 RS

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone else has had a problem with a HEL braided clutch line not fitting correctly .

I recently went about fitting mine to my facelift rs 265 and noticed when bleeding the clutch it blew off the slave cylinder connection . On closer inspection the cutout on the HEL fitting for the wire clip is out of line slightly with the cutout on the slave cylinder connection , not allowing the wire clip to fully seat . I tried both ends of the clutch line out of curiousity and no does not line up 100% allowing for the new braided line to be pulled out by hand or blown off by clutch fluid pressure .

The slave cylinder is a genuine Renault part and the new HEL clutch line was in as far as it can go .

Thinking the line has the incorrect fittings I had a google and others available on the net show the same hydraulic fittings as mine .


Any insight is appreciated !

 

Good thought . I did replace the clutch and slave cylinder with new genuine Renault parts 2 or 3 yrs ago and used the new plastic tube that came with the cylinder .

Bit of a strange one as its very close to fitting correctly

 

I tried both to see at first , starting with connection B , but if i remember it was not fitting there at all correctly . It was only close to fitting at connection A

Interesting ! I did think of reducing the shoulder height on the HEL fitting to allow it to insert deeper . To be honest , these days , I hate having to alter parts that should fit correctly without worry , especially a part that could leave you stranded on the roadside or trackday .

I daily drive the car so when attempting to fit , I had to rush to fit everything back together , hence no pictures or measurements .

I will send HEL an email to see if they are aware of this
