Problem getting Earl's brake lines

Hi guys,

I need to order 2 sets of Earls braided hoses, one for my car which has got front discs and rear drums, ive found them no problem on Summit. I also need to order some for my friends car, which is an 84 Trans Am with 4 wheel disc brakes.

But on the summit website there is no 84 w/4 wheel discs ! it runs from 85 - 92, and if you select 84 it gives you the discs/drums setup which isnt what he has got.

I emailed Summit last thursday and they still havnt replied so hopefully someone can tell me if i order the 85-92 4 wheel disc set they will fit his car ?

Thanks a lot,

Scott

The thing about 84 is, some early production ones still had the SAE flares like 82 & 83, and later ones had the metric "bubble" flares. Most had the metric stuff.

Find out which one the car has, and get the kit to fit it.
