i thought i would swap for extended braided hoses whilst im working on the brakes and will have to bleed them anyway.

just shopped about a bit and seen a few kits with internal thread and a few with external threads.

i looked at the truck and i can see the thread but it looks like it could be going into either the side fixed to the truck or the flexy hose. the hex on the end was bigger on the hose so i presume i want internally threaded ones but cant be sure.

i dont wanna take them off now cuz the rear disc kit hasnt turned up yet so dont wanna remove them till i actually start work.
