Just bought a 307 hdi 283mm front brake set up with some braided hoses ,Problem im having is that when i screw the hose into the thread on the calliper it bottoms out andthere is about 1mm of thread still showing :(
Question is will this still seal as the crush washer is not being crushed or will brake fluid leak or maybe i can use 2 crush washers or thread sealant . Any ideas or advice welcomed as i dont want to fit them to have to change them again

nope there should be no thread showing at all!

standard hose is fine though!

the hoses arent threaded right to the end i just noticed might try taking 1mm off the hose end so the calliper recess houses the whole thread(if that makes sense)
