Hey guys, I was doing some freshening up on the 2G big brake install reading before I start on this phase of my project and found a small problem.
I have front calipers from a 97 AWD Eclipse which use a banjo fittings instead of seated screw in fittings like those used on my 1Gb. I've been told that I can fabricate the lines I need from Earl's lines and fittings that can be purchased at Winner's circle. I'm looking for someone that may have an old 1g front brake line that I can use as a reference for length and fitting size. Anyone? ...I'd rather not take mine apart until I'm sure I've got the replacement. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

I'll look around in the garage this evening. I might have those laying around somewhere.

Kris, had a good idea of just using hoses for a 2G. The 2G hoses are just one piece per side vs. my 1G 2 piece hoses per side. Can anyone confirm that the lengths of these two options are similar? If so then I would only need to make sure the hose end that attaches to the hard line is correct or adapt it to be correct.

You're going with stainless braided lines, right?
