So I just (almost) completed a 5-lug 4 pot convert on my brakes/wheel hubs. I purchased SS lines from Mazdatrix as well. After I got everything bolted up and was about to install the new SS lines in front, I realized that I cannot attach the new lines to the caliper because they're both female to the caliper. Where can I get a connector to attach the lines to the caliper? Can I somehow use the connector from the old rubber lines? I do not have the 4 pot hard line as I was under the impression that they aren't necessary if youre installing SS lines. The lines are long enough to go from the main hard line to the caliper. Not sure what to do?

1986 RX7 base model.

Thanks.

You should have purchased the single piston SS lines. These are a bit longer, and have the proper fitting to screw directly into the calipers.

Good news is that most auto parts stores should carry a selection of brake hard lines that you simply need to bend yourself. You need the shortest line they carry with an M10 inverted flare on each side. Otherwise you can buy the pre-bent lines fro $12 each from Mazdatrix.

Seeing your in germany, if you are desperate, go to your auto parts store and find a brake line fitting to convert the female end to a M10x1.0 male. Otherwise, it seems you ordered the single piston lines and need your 4 piston front lines instead which have the one female and one male end which go up to the hard line and caliper
