Ggodridge/k-tec Brake Lines!

[Daz_172]

Bought a full set of goodridge braided brake lines fro k-tec for my 02 172, started fitting them yesterday, did the fronts fine but when i got to the back i found out they dont fit as theres nothing to connect them too, the orginal brake lines are crimped and dont screw in like the fronts.

So my point is have i been sent the wrong rear lines or do i need extra piping or any sort of adapter to make them fit?

You need to look further under the car, the lines attache from the beam to the floorpan and don't replace the green/black crimped hoses that is inbetween the solid pipe.

I have yet to fit mine and will be doing them this weekend if the weather permits, I will have a look if the 1's I have been supplied with are the same and let you know tonight.

any chance of a picture, i so far have 2 mechanics confused as too where the hell they go, and surely if they dont replace the caliper lines theyll make next to no difference?

You don't need them at the back the rear brakes don't do anything anyway.

passenger side of car, jack up, the lines are both on the passenger side about 8 inches infront of the rear wheel

So they're pointless then?

Pretty much, yep.
