Default Braided SS brake line question

I just finished reading about this no more than a week ago but I'm having trouble doing "recent" searches. Couldn't find the answer in "archives" either.

Anyway...............

Angled lines go on the front or back? These are Goodridge lines.

The angled fittings (4) should be on all 4 calipers.

Does that help?

Yes, the angled fittings(caliper end) are about a half inch longer

Hummmmm, on both my '84 & '92, the shorter pair went on the rears. Seems resonably right? The rear doesn't turn. But mine were different by more than 1/2 inch. If it were me, I'd contact the seller and talk about it.

:confused:

There you go, problem solved. Length obviously doesn't matter. So what if a tire rubs thru a line.

Hey, if you live thru it, what a great story you'll have to tell.

What's with the attitude :confused:

I've installed a set of these before, and the angled lines go to the front.

I was wondering the same thing but opted to ignore him. Lines are installed(bent fittings on the front) and all is well.

thanks for your help Jeff :thumbs:
