so i got a fancy set of 4 pot ss brake lines (racing beat) and installed the front 2 np prob then went to throw on the rears and call it a day and oh no ! they are NOT the same connection at the caliper at all .... the stock rubber line is a bolt in and my lines are the standards flare nut ends... (see picture) ... so now what ? any suggestions ?

fyi - its for a 88 vert n/a with 4 pot fronts and 1 pot rear

any help would be great !

 

The single-piston rear calipers that are matched with the 4-piston front calipers are different from the "standard" rear calipers. Are your rear rotors vented? If so, you likely have the correct rear calipers for a 4-piston system, and I would think that they provided the wrong lines.

If the rear rotors are NOT vented, I believe that your rear calipers are not the matching calipers for a 4-piston system. And you will need to get lines for the standard caliper (that is, the non 4-piston system calipers).

 

the line is not right...looks like it should have a banjo fitting that screws into the end of it.

 

I would have to concur on this one. I believe that is correct.

 

but now i got a new problem.... i cant return 2 lines.. at least i wouldnt think so

 

Is this a recent purchase? Just send them an email or give them a call. They are pretty nice people and if you just explain what happened I don't see why they wouldn't let you return it.

 

Yeah they should allow it, just clean them up so they are not a mess or anything and I can't see why they wouldn't take them back. Get the ones you need and your done.

 

cool thx ill call mazdatrix tomorrow

 

No, the rear lines are the same on the vented and non-vented rears. I know, I've used the same lines on both.

 

I didn't have pictures or my fsm to check it out so I was going on memory, which I shouldn't due since it fails me often.

 

the bag they came in

 

called mazdatrix, guess racing beat forgot to package the banjo fittings with the lines, so i should be getting them soon +1 to mazdatrix for the help
