Thumbs down Brake line frustrations

The other day when I was installing my new front end (2.5 spindles, D/S rotors, calipers, tie rods, ect.) I found out the left and right side hard brake lines had different size fittings on them. Is this normal? I don't think it is, but I've seen wierder stuff. CPP sent me the wrong braided stainless lines (different size than caliper) so I had to put my crusty old rubbers on my nice new front end, anyway.

The different size fittings is normal. The braided lines only come with one size fitting ... you will need to use an adapter.

Re: Brake line frustrations
