skalor Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 I know this has been talked about before but I wanted to know how many people have bought these lines and what they thought about them. I'm switching my TGP over to vacuum brakes and figued that since I have to replace the rubber lines anyway I may as well upgrade them to something better. 8) Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 x2 I'll be looking to replace all my rubber lines in a few months and would like to know how well they install, etc. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Can you buy adaptors that screw onto the double flare hard lines on one end, and to the bubble flair SS flex lines on the other?? Quote
GOT2B GM Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Yeah, thats true. I was just thinking of I ever wanted to switch them to a different car, it wouldn't be a permanant change. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 just a heads up: rear hoses for a '90 W-body are going to be alot longer than those used for '91+ W-bodies. Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 kick ass, thanks for the links Dave Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 85-90 (12224) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/G-Stop-Brake-Line-Kit-OLDSMOBILE-CUTLASS-85-90-12224_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33562QQitemZ8024681011 These are for the Calais. The correct part number for first gen '88-'90 W's is 12264 according to the application guide. and that seller doesn't have them. I did just send him an e-mail to show his error in the listing though. And I guess they did used to be in the store: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=G-stop+12264 The store's still down at the moment though, I believe. Quote
5speedz34 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 If your upgrading to 94+ brakes you should the 94+ lines right. Since they come close to rubbing on the strut, right? Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 If your upgrading to 94+ brakes you should the 94+ lines right. Since they come close to rubbing on the strut, right? I would think so. Unless you're as unfortunate as us PM3 '90s to have that stupid rear proportioning valve edit: that seller e-mailed me back and said he would fix the listing. he also sent me the link to their actual website, which DOES list the correct part number for '88-'90 cars 8) just use the search box for 12264. Lumina's and GP's come up, though it should be the same for CS/Regal? however I don't see any listed for '91-'93 cars. http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_cat_id=313,49,363&action=category Quote
pwmin Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 awesome. thats the cheapest i could find them anywhere online (120 shipped). Quote
skiiirt Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Now Im lookin at these thinkin thats a pretty hot deal. What kinda labour is required to install these? Last visit to any mechanic they said my brake lines were all cracked. Which could very well be bullshit (coming from a chrysler dealer) Also, I was lookin on their website. The part number for the cutlass and the regal is the same. except the regal is like $10 cheaper (well compared to their ebay ad). http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_prod_id=322,313,49,363_1682&action=product Quote
pwmin Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 those are 10 bucks cheaper than anywhere else ive found. 110 shipped. they even have 12237 for my car Quote
92 GP Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 60* used to sell them, yes. I think I may have been the last one to purchase from him on that. Got a damn good price on it, but the only thing was he didn't have them stocked there, which, to me was no problem. He had to order them from the warehouse, then ship them to me. I got'em, put'em on and i LOVE THEM. (They are the goodridge) Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 If your upgrading to 94+ brakes you should the 94+ lines right. Since they come close to rubbing on the strut, right? if you're upgrading on a '91+ car, then just use you original brake hoses. when i upgraded to '94+ rear brakes on my Cutlass the original '91 hoses would have been a perfect fit. i didn't use them because they were in terrible shape. i used the '95 hoses that came from the Buick Regal donor...they are almost a perfect fit but the bracket is a little different and doesn't fit the frame rail flush becuase of the locating tab on the bracket (hard to explain...) anyways, if you're upgrading an '88-'90 W-body, then you have to use '88-'90 brake hoses and modify them. i don't think it matter if it has PM3 or not.
