SS Goodridge brake line install help
I just got my Goodridge SS front brake lines in the mail today. They look great, and I got them brand new from eBay for $50 (shipped). I took them out of the package, and I already need help. It looks like there is one stock line coming from the master cylinder that splits at the bottom into 2 (one for each side). The Goodridge kit came with 2 lines that are both long enough to go to the master cylinder. I looked at the back of the package and it's marked as the correct kit (CBRF2 91-94 frt). What do I do??? The instructions that came with the kit are way too general. Also, the instructions list torque settings for steel and aluminum fittings, but the ones that came with my kit look brass??!!! Which torque setting should I use?? I really need help here, guys, so please anyone that has done this mod PLEASE help!!! thanks in advance!!

RE: SS Goodridge brake line install help
both lines bolt up against the master cyclinder. you use the long banjo bolt that came with the lines on the top, to hold both lines...so it goes like long bolt from kit, washer, banjo, washer banjo, washer, master cyclinder...like that mang...
as far as torque specs, start with 12 ft-lbs and look for leaks as you're filling the system...and if it's ok, leave it...if not 14, etc...they are softer than the stock banjos and the bolt is softer than stock, torquing to stock rating (i think 22ft-lbs) may break the bolt then you'll have other issues.
