Disregard the yellow and red info boxes on the photo. Refer to the post above for those. This photo shows the proper hardline and brake line tab.

Fronts use factory hardlines. Braided lines have same end fittings as the rears. Lines are 16.5" long

Hey Dean...I was looking through Earl's online catalog yesterday for fittings like you have listed and only found round banjo fittings. Have you found or seen block style banjo fittings like the 1LE lines have? I'd prefer that style for C4 and C5 calipers and such but the round style would also work.

Ed

PS: Again, thanks for the info

Rover, as for the hard axle lines, I use lines from Fine Lines. They're prebent and preflared, $25 a set for OEM steel lines, $35/set for SS lines.

Never mind, Dean...I found it in some info I had hidden in a spreadsheet somewhere.

The "1LE" style block banjo fitting is P/N 9976031 and is $16 at Summit.
