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.

Re: Braided SS brake line question (chucks88)
The angled fittings (4) should be on all 4 calipers.
Does that help?

Re: Braided SS brake line question (chucks88)
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.

Re: Braided SS brake line question (Jeffvette)
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:
