I have a new 1/4 inch line from my wilwood proportioning valve to my 95 z28 rear end. The trouble arises where the steel line meets the bracket that secures is to the rubber line that connects to the rear end. On the 4th gen rear I have the t box with the lines on the rear meeting it but no rubber line. So i would think i need the 4th gen rear rubber line, and I need to know what kind of flare and fitting i need on the steel line. And i would need to know how this rubber line connects to the t.

b/c useing my old 3rd gen rear as an example i see the rubber line is connected to the 3rd gen rear t box with what looks to be a brass? wrap that is compressed over the area the rubber meets the t box. Likewise I do not know what flare or fitting was used to meet the rubber line ( i would guess a bubble flare like the other lines)

So in short can I use the 3rd gen rear's rubber line that is connected to the 3rd gen t box and run the 4th gen rear's lines to the t, and flare the hard line to meet the rubber in the bracket?

and could you give me the details on the fittings and flares?
-i would rather use the 3rd gen rear's rubber line as I have heard a replacement is in the $30+ range and would expect the same or more expensive for the 4th gen rear rubber line.


thanks in advance

 

anybody?

 

let me re-phrase?

All of you who converted to 4th gen rears, what did you use to connect the cars hardline to the t box on the rear?

 

I used my stock fitting and used stock disc brake thirdgen lines on the fourth gen rear end. You'll have to strech them about 1" on either side but its simple.

 

if you talking about stretching the hardlines that are on the rear end, i have the stock 4th gen lines already on there, I just need to know what kinda of flare and fitting are used to connect the rubber line to the hard line of the car.

and if i can use the t box that is attached to the rubber line for 3rd gen rears on the 4th gen rear.

 

I just did this swap,my 94 rear with pbr disc brakes bolted right in,including the 94 brake line.The block it screws into uses the same bubble style flare and everything fit perfectly.I am very happy with my new brakes.

 

The brake line fitting you are concerned about, at the "T", should be the same on both your 3rd gen and your '95 4th gen rear and you should have no problems installing it.

I was just concerned with the rubber's length and if the t box directed fluid differently on either generation.

thanks for all the help.
