Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

[Bluemaxww1 at aol.com]

HI,
The Quattro coupe in the front is a little different with the brake lines.  
It has a female to female rubber brake line running from the body to a bracket 
on the front part of the strut.  It has a short hard line running from the 
front bracket on the strut to another bracket on the back side of the strut.  
Then it has a female to male rubber line running from this bracket to the caliper.

When I first installed my 996 calipers, I figured I needed a longer hose to 
run to the 996 caliper.  The female connection on the 996 is further away from 
the bracket than the connection on the G60 caliper.  I started a little 
research.  EKTA gives the length of the lines.  I had a S6(breaking it up) and an 
extra coupe rear hose.  I tried them.  They were long enough and they fit into 
the connection on the 996 caliper.

Later I found out the RS2, which used the same strut as the coupe, uses a 
hard line to replace both the short hard line and second rubber hose on coupe.  I 
bought 400mm hardline from VW and bent it to fit my car.

But until then I used the rubber hose.  Worked fine.

Hope that explains it.

<< Greg-
Clarify your statement, please? You used the rubber line from the
caliper to the hardline, correct? And you used the rear rubber line
from an Audi Coupe for your front 996 calipers?

How did you find this out?

That solves that problem, then you can use this for at least 996 calipers.
