Here's my calipers. :tup:

The rubber o-ring around the bleeder doesn't do crap. It just keeps dirt away from the threads. When the calipers get hot on the track. The bleeders will leak.

Those calipers are beautiful.

I decided to mess around with these a bit and discovered an issue. I tried to test fit a brake line and I had issues with one of the rear calipers. The banjo bolt wouldn't thread properly in to it. After the first few turns it became really tight. None of the others had this issue. I'm assuming the threads in the caliper are damaged. I didn't force it because I didnt want to ruin the banjo bolt or further damage the threads in the caliper. I've contacted the seller and asked for a replacement. I'm waiting for their response now.

You have the cheaper Z1 lines?

I do. Is there an issue with them?

No. I have the Z1 premiums. There is no banjo bolts on them. The lines are all double flared fittings.

I picked them up brand new for $60. For the price I couldn't pass them up.

They responded apologized and will be shipping a replacement to me. They dont want the defective one back and didnt ask for any additional funds, so that's about the best response I could hope for.
