so i went to jegs and got the fittings, but they dont screw all the way down. is this going to be a problem? i figure that if they seat at the bottom they will be fine? no?

That depends. I'm not about to go tear apart my proportioning valve to look, but does the inside have the inverse flare as the fitting? I'm assuming it does, since the link you posted seems to have the same flare as a regular brake line.

it does.

Then you're done :)

cool. i guess it just looks weird. and i am paranoid about stuff like this haha :icon_tup:

Replace hard lines with soft lines? Am I reading this wrong?

87 t-66 12-19-12 05:49 AM

i guess i never thought of it that way. the lines have a teflon core so i think any expansion would be minimal

Did you ever get around to finishing this project? If so any pictures?

i am still accumulating parts and it has been 20-30 degrees outside lately. i am doing a 13b-rew swap at the same time so it will probably be a little bit until i have everything i need

Used generic Russel lines that cost @$20 apiece.
Not sure what you mean about "coincidence" but yes, all braided lines use a teflon inner hose.

The stainless outer sleeve is intended as a more abrasion resistant cover than the original all rubber hose, which it probably is.

How did you do this, I bought the russel brake line kit but like you said there is the extra 4 pot caliper hard line. Would you need an adapter for a banjo style line or what
