I am trying to install new CKT68DC brake lines on my 68 Cutlass on which I just did a disc conversion. The terminations at the ends are not even close to mating on the RH line (see photo). Has anyone had issues with this or am I missing something?


Thanks.

 

have you got it wrong way 'round perchance?

 

I would send an email with that pic and see what they have to say.

 

You can probably bend the rt. side to fit, but on the left you might want to put a
fitting on the frame and run a line down from your combination valve just to make the install a little cleaner, or move the valve down to the frame.

 

I bought the front & rear set for my 66 last year. The back pieces fit perfectly, but the front section that runs across the frame from L to R wasn't even close to the original. I didn't want to wait for a replacement so I re-bent it to fit.

 

I've got an email with photos in to the seller. This is the only direction it will fit. Other way around it would stick out away from the car. Randy, I may do what you suggest and try to re-bend if all else fails.

 

Well, for starters, the center section should be right on the crossmember, not above it as shown in the photo. Moving the whole line downward will fix the fitment problems at the two ends. Keep in mind that the configuration with the combo valve under the master cylinder is NOT factory, so any lines bent to fit this won't match the factory lines anyway.
