I bought two front brake hoses from Franzose and as you can see the end that fits to the brake pipe is slightly different from the old ones. It's a lot shorter!
They are supposed to protrude all the way through the fixing bracket so that the securing clip can fit into the groove above the bracket and hold it tightly in place.
They're actually so short that I can't even see the groove.
I haven't yet come across a solution. The bracket has an extra "layer" that is spot welded to the upper bracket, perhaps I can cut the bottom layer off.
I could also cut a slot in the bracket and slide the hose in from the side so that the hexagonal nut shape part of the hose rests on top of the bracket.
As it is in the photo, there is nothing to stop the hose from dropping down out of the bracket.
Has anyone come across this problem before and any tips on the best way to solve the problem
