Full Version: 2G Big brake swap

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.

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?

Yes, stainless lines.

...and that would be great if you don't mind Goat. biggthumpup.gif
