    Cool Russell 693000 braided 79-86 lines to 87-93 calipers

    Howdy!

    I remembered of course that they were different size/threads on the caliper end comparing my 1981 to an 87-93. I purchased the Russell braided lines for a 79-86 car because of the rear line matching up and I thought I could just adapt the caliper end of the fronts to the later calipers. (Yes, I tried searching FEP first). Anyway, is there an adapter to mate these braided lines to the 87-93 caliper? Yes, I should have checked that part first... I just figured these cars were so darn popular and common it wouldn't be an issue. (lol)

    Thanks!

    Nevermind. Just going to get the 87-93 lines and give someone here a great deal on a set of fronts for a 79-86.

    I wanted the rear line anyway so even though I sort of goofed, it all works out.

    Someone can PM me if they want, but I will get an ad up for them hopefully tonight.

    I just updated my front brakes over the winter, I think the later models had a banjo bolt and the earlier had a flare fitting. I just remember that they were different, so I gave my old ones to a buddy that's still running 10" brakes.
