Braided brake line for disc rearend???
Braided brake line for disc rearend???
heres the low down.. i got an 86 disc brake rear end.the brake lines on one side are full hard line from "T" to caliper, and the other side has a section of soft line between the "T" and caliper.
does anybody make a stainless braided brake line for this location?? i can only find fronts and the rear line from chassis to rearend in braided lines.
since both the calipers are mounted to the rearend the exact same on both sides, why have one side hard and one side soft? can i just make the side with the softline into a full hardline like the other side or will that cause a problem??
Thankyou to all who have any input on this

An 86 should have opposing calipers. 89+ have the calipers to the rear.

do you have the goodridge part number? i cant find the correct line set. i need two front lines, one rear chassis to rearend, and one is on one side of the rearend to caliper(4 total). the sets they sell have 5 lines?? do i use that set and just end up with an extra??

Part number is goodridge 12252.
I don't see a problem with making it a hardline except it will make pad and rotor changes a pain. I wish they were soft lines on both sides.
