I'm trying to wrap up my front-end refresh and install my brake calipers.
1. Did I install the brake pad properly? Am I missing parts to hold the pins in place, or am I good? 2. Any tips on bending the gas line to the caliper? I'm worried I'm going to put a kink in it. Thanks, Victor   |

I'm having a similar issue: I want the brake line have a bend in it that allows it to go into the caliper without a banjo bolt. If you look at the PET, there are 2 hard lines that go into the front calipers. One has the 90° bend, the other does not and requires the banjo.
#11 is for cars up thru 1971 and #12 is for cars with VIN 19032 and later, if I'm reading the PET correctly.   I bought what I thought were the correct hard lines from PMB, but they are the same as #11, even though my order was indicated as #12. I could not easily find the banjo bolt and other parts on PMB's site. I will be calling them on Monday top get some clarification. |
