[Healeys] 100 front brakes

[Hank Leach]

Do you mean "wheel" cylinders and not "slave"...100s have a mechanical
clutch. I understand that on all model Healeys the brake hoses have
one threaded 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
switched over to the Girling unified thread on later releases. The
bleeder connection can be either in or out in shape (photo) but if the
bleed screw is flat it uses the check ball (supplied in rebuild kits)
and fits the recessed shape. The pointed bleeder uses no check ball.
Be sure that you were supplied 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 thread into the slave Cyl do not match the shape of the mating
surface in the slave. 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 is 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)? Gary Hodson
