intern8tion9l Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 well everything was smooth sailing on the cutlass until i tried to put the rear ss brake lines on. i cranked the bitches as hard as i possibly could and they are still leaking brake fluid like a whore. anyone else using the old style ones having this problem by any chance??

intern8tion9l Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 i'll take that as a negative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 If I knew how the older style lines were designed, I could help ya out, but I dont. Did you try the other side yet? If you cant get that to work, wait and bring the car up here and well work on it to see if we can get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 ya, can you get some pix or something? im not sure why if you can put newer brakes on an older car you cant use the older style lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 you're using new crush washers, right? I guess first I should ask which end is leaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Are they flared like the original lines or not? "Invasion1" had to reflare the goodridge lines he put on his Cutty(don't remember what year it was or which goodridge kit he bought though..)

FordBoy Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 you have the copper washers there right? if so try to replace them and see what happens they are so cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I bet its a single flare instead of the factory double flare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I bet its a single flare instead of the factory double flare I just got my g-stop lines but I haven't really looked at them.. but I'm pretty sure single flare is very unsafe for brake lines so I wouldn't think so.

intern8tion9l Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 sorry its been so long. i gotta look at them again, i was talking to a friend of mine and he also said it sounds like a flare problem. i'll keep you guys posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bake82 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I now own Davis' car. If it would help I could take some close up pictures of the goodridge lines and the hard metal lines on the car to see if they're different than yours. His doesn't not have ABS.

pwmin Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 that would be great. my car doesnt have abs either. what style lines does he have? im assuming it has the 94+ upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 im just going to order the 94+ ones (12237) since im going to have all 94+ brakes. so, what is the diff between 12236 and 12237, are the 7's just longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bake82 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 that would be great. my car doesnt have abs either. what style lines does he have? im assuming it has the 94+ upgrade? The car does not have the 94 upgrade. Just brand new rear 88-93 calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
