[QUOTE]Originally posted by SikWiditMke: [QB] So I'm installing a PBR brake set up on my 93 foxbody. Parts list: 95 spindles 2000 Dual piston caliper and rotors 2004 Driver side and passenger side brake lines 1/4 female to 3/16 male adapter. The issue I'm having, is the passenger side line seems to be to short. As it sits right now, it looks like I won't even be able to align it to the bracket, and mount the caliper. I'm stumped, is there different length lines from various years? Or do I have to re align the existing hard lines? Mike [/QB][/QUOTE]
