So I just ordered some new brake lines from PMB. I don't believe the girl on the phone understood what I was asking for and ultimately shipped my what I already have in place. I understand that the setup for an early one has the location moved far to the drivers side which is the ideal location for a 6 conversion. Mine was right in the way of the oem 6 mount and needed to be removed. Do all late model cars have the regulator mounted close to the middle or are some about 12 inches towards the driver side. I thought mine had a weird mounting location, but maybe it is normal.
Has no-one created this as a package for relocation of the regulator? Maybe everyone switches to an early style or just uses an early 914 for the conversion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

As always thank you Phil.
I bet this is one reason why people just say @#$% it and put a T fitting. It is out of the way and they just use the same lines. Maybe I can mount it where the early one usually goes and get PMB to send me the two lines for the early which has a short driver side vs longer passenger side, then run to the LAS and get a short piece of line and bend my own. I have a flaring tool and pipe bender. |

As someone that did brakes as a day job for years, a T fitting is just a bad idea for so many reasons that have been covered elsewhere. You're proposal to just make the "conversion" line from the tunnel on out, could work. 1) Make sure you use ISO bubble flare and metric fittings. Not same as SAE flares or fitings. 2) I think you will want to make that line to the regulator in two pieces with a 90 degree elbow to turn the corner once it exits the bulkhead. I don't think you can make it all as one piece and still wiggle & contort it into the tunnel to the union. Could be wrong on that - you're pretty creative! |
