got some measurements too on the front brackets.
18.8mm width
38.2mm length
20mm distance from the center of brake line to center of mount hole
if they want, i could send them these lines. i dont think i would do anything other than throw them in the trash. in exchange, i ask that when we get new sets mine are wrapped in some kind of silicon sleeve or something. laugh.gif i really think the lines should have that anyway though, SS braid bouncing around will eat through anything, strut housings included.

had a couple problems with the lines. first problem was that i dont think i alloed enouch slack on each side of the bracket and i think it wore right through and maybe stretched the inner teflon tubbing so that it broke. thats when i lost a lot of brake power and had to take a very slow ride home from work.
second problem i noticed while taking these off and putting the stockers back on. i believe my driver side front brake line had a bad crimp. there was some brake fluid underneath the coating around the lines. i think there was a slow leak at one of the ends that caused this. this made the external coating weak and i was actually able to just tear it off. never really noticed it while drivign though.
the crimps on the goodridge line look WAY better though.

I might be calling Goodridge myself pretty soon here. I wanted install these a while ago and I'm getting a bit impatient.
I think that Goodridge should send us call tags and overnight the correct lines to us. The blame/fault/problem is all with them

I ment to hit the reply button.
I didn't see that it is auto-quoting within the post.
I don't have anything against FOD, and don't hold him responsible. He really shouldn't have to fix the problem - Goodridge should. That's all I ment to say.
And patience isn't really the deciding factor. There are times when I can work on the car and times I can't.

How would they void the warranty when the packaging states that they are for 97 to 01?
