Be careful!
For the 2008 model there are two versions of the rear caliper, the older one may use a tapered thread for the hose, the newer is a straight thread (with an oring?). I think it changed mid- MY and I assume a later MY's use the straight thread.
Atlantic British sent me the wrong ones, and they never could figure it out... shortly after my issue, they just stopped selling the rear hoses. If you can't get clarity on which hose you need, just get the rears from the dealer, referencing your VIN....

I can't find any ref for a part number for banjo bolts or crush washers. Like I said, only buy the hoses from someone who includes those parts if needed.

DANGER!Replaced the flex hoses a little over four years ago and the right front failed today, where the rubber enters the fitting. Didn't pop off but good enough leak that there was no fluid and no braking by the time my wife drove it home.
I bought the parts at Atlantic British.

).Wife admitted to a panic stop, but still they should be up for that. Especially four years old. Jesus.
I'm done with AB for sure... rear hoses I suspect are the wrong part, and fronts that fail???

I got them from Atlantic British, but don't recall the packaging. I'll look at the hoses when I pull them off (they are ALL coming off ).
