Hi Fellow Sharks
I have just received my new braided stainless steel brake lines and will replace old worn rubber ones this weekend. The job is straightforward but I can't find the torque spec for tightening banjo bolts to front calipers and connection to hydraulic feed line. Anyone have this data?


Many thanks from Vancouver

Thank you to all! Now my 1993 GTS will stop as well as it GOES!!

If you had braking issues, replacemnt of the flex lines might not be the real casue. If yo bleed the brakes using the pumping the pedal method, don't let the pedal fall too far or else you can rip the seals in the master cylinder apart.

No issues with braking just 18 year old hoses

and probably an 18 YO master cylinder, the MC will develope corrosion inside the bore where the seals dont normally ride pushing the pedal down full stroke puts the seals into the corroded area thus the seals get damaged from this corroded area
