So the rest of my brake parts came in. I plan to make all my lines tonight. I’ll create a breakdown of parts if anyone is interested in doing it for themselves, just let me know and I’ll share them. Basically though I’ll be using -3 AN fittings for the unions with the original rear lines and anywhere I pass through the firewall and I’ll be using OEM style m10 x 1 fittings for the proportioning valve, master cylinder and front flex lines.
After reading a lot about it, it seems that people prefer the fragola fittings over earls/etc so I ordered all fragola AN fittings from summit.
I had already received my 37* ridgid tool, and I have another 45* ridgid flaring tool but it isn’t capable of producing double flares so I bought the 345 dl series ridgid tool for the m10 fittings which need to be double lapped and it just arrived today.
Ok here are the fragola part #s for the stuff I used from summit. Keep in mind that if you don’t plan to use the OEM style m10 x 1 fittings then you’ll also need the AN adapters for those. I don’t know the part #s for those since I’m not using them but should be easy to find.
^ lol I doubt it but hopefully it will be as nice as I envision.
I’ll post up some pics I took while making up lines. I didn’t finish, I still have to make the lines from the prop valve to firewall and firewall to master cylinder but all the lines to the wheels are done.
Thanks! Any questions I could help with don’t hesitate to ask.
Trying! There’s not enough time to go around but slowly but surely
Thank Some of this stuff I’m learning as I go but none of it is really that difficult as long as you have patience to do research and work carefully.
My jdm nosecut arrived today… Unfortunately the hood and bumper cover were damaged in transit so now I’ll be dealing with claims to try to get replacements/partial refund. Sigh
WHATTTT? You got a jdm front? ANOTHER SET of one pieces? haha what are you plans for that man? Sorry haven’t read the last couple pages of the thread if you said what your plans were
My thoughts exactly. I believe I actually said that exact thing when he dropped the lift gate…
Yep, jdm front. One of my main reasons for buying the complete nosecut was that I could sell the one pieces to recoup some of my money and then use most of it on the car. So theyll be listed up soon. I recently bought a jdm 92 bumper support off here and it arrived damaged (but that was obviously shipped damaged since its rusted at the bend) so I really wanted the bumper/support/fenders/hood for the DA. Still waiting on Paypal dispute for the first support…
Yeah, I’m pretty bummed. I was super excited until I actually saw the parts. I called the company I bought it from immediately (before accepting the delivery) and they assured me they had replacements in stock and would make it right so I took their advice and accepted delivery. If they refuse to make it right though I’ll be going through another PayPal claim.
