Hi Damien,

Yes early D1 are same as RRC with twin line calipers, later (1994 on) have single line calpiers and the hoses have female threads at both ends, and affixed via circlip at top and bottom.

I have the part number at work if you need it?

It appears Goodridge have been packing them incorrectly. JC are rears the same as fronts? (96 disco female to female)

I just got extended brake lines from Les Richmond in Thomastown had no problems there he seems to know the disco's back to front. Mines a 97 and it has the same as yours internal (female) both ends single line front calipers

so internal both ends front and rear?

Stuck my head under and it appears that the fronts are internal thread both ends and the rears are external thread both ends. Anyone confirm with this?

Yes.

seems late classic rangie ones were packed into the wrong box, female to male

thats correct and the rear have 2 nuts on the upper end that lock it onto the mount plate so be sure to check the thickness of the nut on the hose Thicker one to bottom thinner one to top
