Help identifying brake lines
I purchased these goodridge lines unused from a forum member a while back and am just now getting around to putting them on. They were supposed to be for my 94, however my car has banjo bolt hookups to the calipers at all 4 corners and two of these have line style fittings. Was I sold the wrong kit for my car or am I missing parts? If these are wrong can anyone identify what they are supposed to be for?
Thanks
Roy

Does anyone have any input for me regarding these? Did any year C4 not use banjo bolts on all the calipers? I am wondering if these are just for another year C4 or just completely wrong.
Thanks

I can't check the car just now, but I am CLOSE to certain that all four
caliper ends on the Earl's hoses for my '89 are a Banjo style, too.
Let me check a Goodridge catalog to see whether they list different
p/n's for the C4.

At least without some work and issues?

Probably won't help you but.. The link has some pictures of the Earls lines for Corvettes. I just ordered the 28A010 for my 1995. I am curious what part is the banjo fitting?
Thanks

Edit: hmm... Doesn't look anything like a banjo but I'm guessing it's the bolt part with the cylinder next to it??

My Earl's lines do not have the funky gadgets which appear to be
springs acting as strain-reliefs. However, the rectangular shaped
blocks illustrated above are similar to the caliper ends on my rear
hoses - they are a 'banjo-like' fitting.
Again, I am not close to my car but my recollection is that the front
hoses had the more conventional circular banjo fitting at the caliper.

The Goodridge kit I bought for my '95 is marked on the package 93-96 and all four are banjo fittings. I haven't installed the rears and I don't remember what type fittings they have, so I hope I have the right ones.

Frankly, I was surprised there were so many hose kits for the C4.

He is missing the other fittings to make the other lines work.

Hey thanks for all the replies guys, but I have determined that these hoses are definitely not going to work. I had some hope for a while that I could just bolt the line fitting to a banjo bolt adapter and be golden. But....The side that attaches to the hard line coming from the MC does not fit. It appears to be an SAE/Metric mismatch. Why someone would sell these as being for a C4 corvette is beyond me when they could have just sold them to fit whatever they were for.
