Default Re: Sale on Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines, 1992 - 2006!

I'm in the process of installing Sean's SS lines to my GenII. I have a couple of questions:

Question #1: The brackets supplied with the kit seem to be shorter in length than the OEM brackets. In order to get the hard brake line to match up with the bracket I'd have to bend it up. Does this make any sense? Take a look at the bracket below, this is the passenger side rear. The hard line is dangling below the new bracket:



Question #2: The brakes lines aren't labeled front or rear. Are the shorter lines for the rear and the longer lines for the fronts?

Question #3: SS Line routing. Assuming the short lines are for the rears, the pic above shows the line looping up and over to the caliper. Problem is the line rubs the frame and I assume this is bad. The pic below shows the line cross under but seems close to the exhaust pipe. What's the proper way to route this line?


I wanted to route it and secure it to the parking brake line as shown in this stop tech photo but this will only work with the longer lines:


Question #4: Tie wraps and Adel clamps. What am I supposed to do with the tie wraps (I got 4 fat tie wraps and 4 adel clamps in the kit)? Where did you mount/secure these?

If you can post some pics of your completed work I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to write this all up as I go long and I'll be sure to include your comments/pics.

Thanks,
- Tony
