[DeTomaso] Brake Caliper/Brake Line Fitting

[opiecars at verizon.net]

I had a similar problem. I ended up getting custom steel braided lines, through Summit, with 45 degree ends on one end. I think a 90 is too "tight." I contacted the vendor/manufaturer, got the specs, and part number from them. I then called Summit and gave them the part number. I will look tonight to see if I can find the paperwork.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Brake Caliper/Brake Line Fitting

My brake lines from the rear calipers are rubbing the inside edge of my
new Kodiak wheels.  I have 17x11 with 6.5 back space and no spacers.  I
have tried to twist the lines an re-tighten them so they are out of the
way but its still too close for comfort.  I think I need a 90 degree
fitting from the caliper to make the brake line clear the wheel.  Can
anyone give me a hot tip on where to find such a thing and/or what size
the fitting threads should be before I go internet shopping?
 
Thanks, Sean Mundy
