    Shoebox has a chart of brake line end connections. Also identifies the approximate length of each stock line.

    I personally would have someone make the lines for me. The factory stuff, in addition to being metric, uses a GM "bubble" flare. Or maybe there are adapter fittings.... I don't know. My ABS stuff is still intact. I have a line lock in the line from the MC to the stock combination valve (on the side of the ABS).

    Can any of you pros point me to a good install instruction for our cars as to what lines go to what ports? I'd love to dial back the pressure in the front just a hair now that i've got the V brakes.

    Unfortunately it never saw duty on my T/A. Parted the car before I ran it. I liked this kit because of the clean look and simplicity for installation.

    It was gnarly, was trying to work with a limited amount of free space away from the down pipe from the turbo.



    Broke through in the drivers wheel well, ran a single line around to passenger side.

    quick question, what about the fittings at the flex line end? since I'm assuming u used standard sized line, isn't the fitting at the flex hose for metric line?

    Thank you, i really like that mounting location. I think i'm going to ditch the ABS block location and just make some new lines to put it someplace cleaner.

    I believe those fittings were an M10x1.0 which are available at your big box stores. Autozone sold them in 5 packs, used to be about $3.50 a pack, threw me for a loop when they jacked the price to $10 a pack recently.

    Yeah, 3/16 and 4mm are nearly identical in size. There's more of a difference in 1/4" and 6mm (I have to drill my metric fittings out some to fit the available 1/4" lines I use).
