Default RE: Brake line help

Just go to a good auto parts store, not autozone.. Just as an FYI, when I did my disk brake swap I did not use a proportioning valve. I set it up like that first because not every car needs one, its only so the rear brakes do not lock up. Mine dont so, I don't need it`. I have done this swap on three other cars and only one needed the proportioning valve.

ORIGINAL: tylerdru

I walked into autozone and asked for such an adapter and they said that it did not exist. I was pretty sure something like that did. what size are the inlets on my granada MC?

The fitting size is not the size of wrench that goes on it, if that is what you were going by.

There are several size fittings. Most parts stores and brake shops sell pre-made, 12" long lines with different combinations of ends. bring in the ends so they can match them up. I got two new lengths with ends for less that $10. Bend them yourself with a plumber's tubing bender or just gently by hand.
