First: I bought some 928 S4 front brake calipers for my '87. They bolt on just fine, but I need a hard line that has a little longer male thread on at least one end than what I have now. The bottom of the hex portion bottoms out before the flare seats properly. What I need is one that measures at least 7/8" from the bottom of the hex to the end of the double flare.

Has anybody done this conversion? Is yes, how did you find/make/etc. a longer male fitting to go in?

Would one off a 928 S4 work?

Second: I moved the fronts to the rear. Now the hard line is on the bottom inside that is close to the control arm. How do I connect this up? Just run a longer hard line over or under the control are to the flex line mount?

I can have a set of braided lines made, but I feel more comfortable with a hard line, as I drive it on the street some.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

I moved the front to rear and with a brake line bender made a smaller bend and ran it up and over the trailing arm. For the front Big reds I had to bend a new line which I purchased from Napa for $5.00 2 lines. I ran braided lines from the hard lines and bled with a power bleeder.

I think I have the rears worked out, it's just the fronts. I can't find a hardline with a long enough thread to seat properly.

Might have to go to braided lines...
