[s-cars] BBK and braided Lines question

[manuelsanchez at starpower.net]

Stott,

Thanks for the input. 

I actually installed the front 2-line Audi to Porsche Caliper Paragon kit,
PPB-AS49294MFRC, 
that you list, however neither end in what I received, nor what I have received in previous kits from Goodridge or ECS Tuning, had banjo bolt ends. The Paragon kit came with 2 copper crush washers, but like the other kits, I have never been able to get the male end of the line that connects to the 993TT caliper to "bottom out" and thus use these washers. There are and have always been, threads still showing with the 3 different manufacturers of braided lines that I have used over the years. 

If I had to say it would be about 1/8" or 3mm of exposed thread after I have tightened them down to a level that feels as if I tightened any further I'd strip some threads.

Regards,

Manny
