Re: Cobra Brakes on a 1G

Something else I'll post up that I just found out about the lines. The problem is the Cobra calipers need a banjo style line (just like 2G's). So I ordered up those 2G lines, hoping they'll work.

Something I just found out, now that I already paid for the damn 2G lines, is that on 1G FWD models, there is a fitting on the rear brakes. Rear FWD 1G brakes have banjo style calipers. But there is a fitting that converts the Banjo caliper, to accent a standard line. You can simply steal that fitting from a FWD 1G rear caliper, and install it onto the Cobra front caliper, and a stock 1G line will fit right up.

Here's a picture from CAPS showing the part.
