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?

You probably have the wrong side caliper

Swap the sides

You want the bleeders pointing up.

I have the calipers on the right side, I tried flipping the brake line, as in the way the block mounts to the caliper and it reaches that way...

So is it correct for the circular crevice on the banjo bolt block, to be mounted facing up?

yea

Thanks guys, I got my swap finished but now I have a sticking passenger side caliper!? What would cause this?

I bled the system from farthest to closest to mast cylinder, but didn't resolve the issue.

the pad clips not properly placed, did u even check to see if the slider pins where lubed or presently stuck,brake line twisted? runner or metal lines bent? u can loosen the brake bango brake line to let fluid out to see if that unsticks it, to help with diagnosis theses thing might help..

^ I lubed up the slider pins and added a brand new disk hardware set, I'm gonna try the other things tomorrow after work and see if any of those help!

One of the piston didn't compress all the way, would that pin-point to a damaged piston?
