The Girling brakes cylinders I have dealt with use a copper washer to seal =
to the supply port. They didn=92t use any type of flare. The =93inee=94 and=
=93outee=94 ports on the cylinders shown were made to match a bubble flare=
or a double flare solid line respectively. These are the transfer ports be=
tween the double cylinders on the Girling dual leading shoe braking system =
used on the front of the 100 and 100-6. The transfer pipes currently availa=
ble use double flares on both ends so the bubble flare port may not be comp=
atible. The The ports that are angled are the correct ports for the supply =
hoses (upper) and bleeder screws (lower). The hoses screw into the upper an=
gled port and seal with copper washers. The bleeder screws as noted may use=
a tapered sealing surface or a flat surface with a round indentation and a=
small steel ball.

Do you mean "wheel" cylinders and not "slave"...100s have a mechanical clut=
ch. I understand that on all model Healeys the brake hoses have one threade=
d end and one flared end. That flare goes into the metal line nut.
On the early 100 wheel cylinders they used an American AF thread but switch=
ed over to the Girling unified thread on later releases. The bleeder connec=
tion can be either in or out in shape (photo) but if the bleed screw is fla=
t it uses the check ball (supplied in rebuild kits) and fits the recessed s=
hape. The pointed bleeder uses no check ball. Be sure that you were suppli=
ed the correct threaded hose...most suppliers do not have the early style. =
Use Girling red grease on the threads. Hank

I will be assisting a friend to replace the flexible hoses on his 100 front=
brakes. He has ordered and received a set of hoses, but the ends that thre=
ad into the slave Cyl do not match the shape of the mating surface in the s=
lave. The ends of the hoses are flat & it is my understanding that the cyl.=
is cone shaped inside. The vender says this is not a problem. I think it i=
s a problem.
What do you say?
Also, if it is an issue, where can we get a set of flex hoses that have the=
correct ends for this application & are also the correct length (I.E. Not =
too short)?
