Earl's braided brake line for front 1LE P/N?

I have to replace the front drivers side Earl's Hyperfirm braided SS brake line on my 1LE equiped Camaro. Having front and rear 1LE brakes, I originally ordered the 28A190ERL for all for corners. Since I only need the front, earl's only lists one part number for the front for 84-92 (28A180ERL). It doesn't seem right that both 1LE and the stock brakes take the same part. Anybody know that 28A180ERL will work with 1LE front brakes?

hehehe....that didn't answer my question

If the front 1LE brakes have a different PN than the regular cast iron calipers when you get the regular rubber lines, why does earls list only one part number for the 1LE and iron calipers front brakes?

I'll recommend just driving over to George Turino at TMR and having him make you what you need in about 10 mins for about half the cost. George used to be an Earls dealer- too many problems getting Earls supplies so now he does XRP.

TMR doesn't carry earls anymore? Damn, that's where I was planning on getting the line(s) tomorrow. Guess I'll remove the line and let him work his magic anyways.

Thanks but I just wanted to get the fronts only and not the whole set. I just had TMR build me a new one for $20 instead of paying $100 for a new compete set.

$20 per line is good for custom lines...
