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,

I had a similar problem with two calipers I purchased. The very easy solution, which I did, was to purchase two banjo bolts and banjo fittings from PMB, along with the washers. There are other ways but for me, this was the easiest.

I could not find either of these on the PMB website. I typed in the part name, the part number and looked in the sections I thought they would be in and got nothin'. You got a link?

I'm pretty sure they shipped me the wrong ones. My car currently has the ones I'm looking for, but I'm replacing them while I'm redoing the calipers.
