I'm having a right quandary are these straight connectors or banjo connectors as the replacement hydraulic lines I've received from chain reaction have got banjo fitting attached but the ones i've taken off are straight.
If i can use the banjo fittings which hole do i use.

The calipers that come with the Shimano road hydro levers (BR-RS785) do not use a banjo. You will need to cut off the hose at the banjo and fit it using the same method as you did at the levers (olive + insert).
Thx so i could of just bought the deore replacement ones for half the price. Chain reaction are selling the banjo ones as a direct replacement i can see a telephone call coming on.
It would seem there are different versions of the kit, some have an XT-like caliper which uses a banjo, the others have the straight connector:

If your caliper has the straight connector there's no point in buying the banjo hose.
