ANDY!!

Speaking of this subject (please see my earlier post) I'm putting in and 85 IROC rear (disc) into my 83 T/A (drum) and I'm thinking there might be some difference in fittings (metric/std)???

Do you have the braided brake lines (I'll get all 4, 2 front, 1 body to rear, 1 LH caliper) or whatever suggestions you may have)

If you have/can get them, can you get them out today? (paypal or whatever)

Thanks,
Paul

Yeah those were just the front rubber hoses. If your looking for braiding, Summit sells 2 diffrent makes one is Earl's and the other is Russel both go for around 75 bucks for the complete set front and rear.

The Earls, or Russells lines do not fit the '82,'83, or early '84 cars. I found this out the hard way.

I am out of the special body-to-axle brake line for these cars. I am having more made. I should have them in a week or so. No big company wants to make these special lines because it is "such a small market". So I have to get them custom made.

email me if you are interested.

Thanx,ANDYZ28
