I need to know roughly how much the front brake lines from the front of the master cylinder to the I believe right front brake is for a 1985 berlinetta camaro, where to find them, and or length and diameter of screw I should be looking for.


I feel like such a newb. This is my first true American Muscle car (cause everyone knows a automatic 1997 Mustang v6 don't count )


Turns out my Berlinetta's battery was fine, just needed a charge but someone decided to cut the front brake line about 5" away from the screw into the master cylinder. FML!

 

I think it's about 50" but I could be wrong.

They're a metric bubble flare. 6mm line if memory serves, with whatever the "standard" fitting is for that size & type of line. Not worth worrying about what that actually is. You find em in EVERY parts store, in a cardboard box full of sticks of line stood up on end in little vertical "compartments", in all different lengths and both SAE and metric sizes. Common as dirt.

 

Thanks a million. the previous owner told me they were $400 a line when we traded cars. I was like no way in hell are they THAT expensive.

 

Full set of 4 runs around $70 plus shipping from Finelines or one of the other sellers.

 

Okay so what would be the one on the front of the master cylinder right under the brake fluid reservoir? It looks like it goes to the left front brake? Anyone have a diagram???

 

the one on the front goes to the rear.

 

if memory serves me correctly... on my "85" Berlinetta there was an in line brake fluid equalizing valve that gave me all kinds of problems... especially on the right front brake... but the memory of an ol timer is questionable..))

 

70 bucks - not any more - looked 85 camaro up for the front lines and it said 82-92 CHEVY CAMARO/PONTIAC FIREBIRD 8 CYL LEFT SIDE, 3/8", BEADED

sofakingdom-whom I trust dearly said 6mm bubble flare

can anyone comment further - my project is a 85 camaro sport VIN H with a 305
thanks all

thanks for no replies-guess its a newbe question or nobody knows the answer-doesn't say in my 3" shop manual for that year either-guess i'll have to take it off and bring it to autozone to tell me what i need
