Hi guys,

First time poster here so apologies for breach of any first timer rules. I am refurbing the calipers on my 2007 XKR and was going to replace the flexible lines with HEL ones as I have. had good experience with HEL in the past but they only state up to 2006.

So has anyone trod this path before do these fit a 2007?

Many Thanks

 

Disregarding your location, those lines are for the X100 style XK8/XKR and will not fit the newer X150 models we all have.

 

I had custom brake lines made to order when I upgraded to the Alcon big brake rotors. If you are interested I can forward tge info to you. They are located in Orange California.

 

Hi,

Thanks for the replies located in the UK should of said that. So anybody know the length and fittings for an X150 brake line set?

 

I ordered front 24 inches due to steering left to right play and rear 20 inches. Banjo fitting to calipers and cone fitting to brake lines

 

Thanks @braciedog.

Do you know the sizes and everything else to make a custom order up
i.e. what are all the fields needed here.?

I have a 2011 5.0 sc, and recently replaced my rear lines. If the 2007 are the same you can't get brake lines made up. The originals have mounting brackets and different fittings onto the calipers. Originals are not cheap in the UK either, around £190 per side. I did see brake lines much cheaper from Brit parts, obviously not oem.
also make sure you don't let the master cylinder bleeding out and run dry, I've just had a complete nightmare from the entire system bleeding out which resulted in a £1000 bill.

 

Thanks for the reply and advice. I might looking and send them off to be remanufactured with all the brackets moved over.

 

check out these, extremely cheap
Thats R/H, they should have left hand in stock. If id have seen those id have given them a go before i bought oem

Any fasteners, fittings or machine shop can do this easily.
