Installing Goodridge SS lines
I read that back in August that the Goodridge lines weren't causing speed sensor issues. Is this still true?
Also got a quick question for anyone thats done the install themselves.
The barrell where the clip holds the lines to the bracket seem much taller on the SS lines. Got them off with a bit of prying, but getting them back on the new lines is a turning out to be a chore. Should the clip compress together and both sides fit between the lip and bracket or should the clip spread apart and the top slide OVER the end of the barrell while the bottom of the clip is caught under the lip? This seem almost impossible due to the fact that the barrell is much taller.
Many thanks.

Re: Installing Goodridge SS lines (mfrnka)
You did select the correct brake lines... because i was the guy having nothing but problems with the (other) lines. I did the install of the new lines myself and I am totally lost with your description of the work involved. The new lines go on the same as the old ones with the block bolted to the Caliper. the clips that hold the lines to the inside body panels go on the same way as before.

Re: Installing Goodridge SS lines (vetterdstr)
Thanks for the reply vetterdstr. I got it figured out.
The question was in regards to the clips that hold the barrel/nut end of the line to the bracket/platform.
I did manage to get the top of the clips over the barrels. The trick turned out to be removing the bracket/platform from the car and taking some bigger tools to it on the workbench and vice.
Of course, I didn't get a wrench on the rear barrels/lines very well while tightening the steel nuts connecting the hard lines so they're both leaking a bit. Off with the wheels and back at it tomorrow. <grin>
Thanks again for the offer to help.
