Why are there two sets of brake lines comming off my 1987 Carrera front Calipers? One is obviously the right one to connect the other is forward of the the correct one and goes to what?

Buddy, we were at a track event at Road America....
You know the track car hits 6000 RPM in 5th at 3 different spots? (probably 150+) Anyway, the "sensor" that was in a brake pad on a Carrera is a brake pad wear indicator. Most of those were cut off and defeated as most performance pads didn't have the required notch. The original sensors (most required replacement as they were worn out when they went off) were some high temp plastic with two metallic probes that would touch the rotor and "make" the circuit to turn on a light. Totally useless in my opinion. I keep better tabs on how my brakes are wearing. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you didn't have multiple brake line inlet fittings on your calipers. I went with SC fronts. The rotors are cheaper. The track car uses turbo brakes (rotors are NOT cheaper) Got your 3.2 in that thing yet? |
