Brake line problem.....

I overlooked the fact that the 911 master cylinder only has 1 outlet port for the front brake lines instead of the 2 required. Here is what I was thinking of doing.... I was going to remove the brake sensor and put the line into the M/C there, then I was going to use the rear "T" fitting inline with the left/front metal brake line so the brake sensor will still work. I was going to order another "T" fitting and another short brake line so I could finish my brakes. Correct me if I'm wrong but the brake hardware that is sold at my local auto parts store won't fit because the they are "all" standard thread.

You should be able to get Euro flare lines at AutoZone in different lengths. The "T" fitting plan should work.

Sweet. :agree: I hope they have the metric "T" fittings also.

Got another problem now. I ordered rear rubber lines for my car and when I tried to fit them they are too short. The website says they are supposed to be 235mm long. The lines I took off of my car were 245mm long and the new replacements are 230mm long. I checked and where I could find the part number they are all the same number as the lines that don't fit.
