92 vs 2001 rear brake lines

title says it all. how much difference is there between the 92 rear disc brake lines and a 2001 rear disc brake line setup. I'm looking for decent pics but not having luck. I need to know if the original 92 lines will fit up to the 2001 brakes without too much nonsense. It looks like both have a bracket where the steel line goes to a flex hose that connects to the caliper. I'm unsure if there would be line length or fitment issues of some sort moving the 92 lines onto the 2001 rear diff. thanks

Length is different, flex hoses and hard lines since the later axles are wider and the calipers are flipped on the 3rd gen. Either way, you can swap the lines since the threads are them same if that's what your asking.

Do the hard lines on the 92 go all the way to the caliper, or does it have a hyd hose?

Only the early cars with the iron calipers had no flex hose on one side. After 88 or so they went to the aluminum pbr claipers and both sides have flex hoses
