The connection from the hardline to the caliper is a banjo bolt. No need to bend the line. It’s a very common way to attach the brake line to a caliper.

Many front calipers use the Banjo connection for a right angle direction change. It has a hollow bolt with 2 different copper washers and the brass banjo.
![]() Your pad installation looks correct, the pins have a compressible collar that holds them in place. The caliper looks to be just sandblasted but not plated or painted. It should at least be rattle can painted with high temperature paint to keep the rusting down or the pads will rust into place. |

I guess I didn't think to look for something else because I didn't remove anything.

Thank you for the photo. Now it makes sense. Not to be a complete idiot, but do I paint the inside as well and mask off the piston area? |

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. |

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 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. |

914 RZ-1 is Right.
The later front caliper, 73 on did not have the banjo bolt. Seeing how the correct hard lines should be $20 a pair, and the Banjo bolt complete set on Pelican and PMS are about $70, I think I'd just opt for the correct later set at $20 and not spend $90 for 8 inches of brake line... I have 3 cars here that have this on the front... Attached image(s) ![]() |

As per Mike's post, you have a late caliper and an early line. You need to order the late lines and it will bolt right in. Banjo not needed or recommended for the late calipers.
https://pmbperformance.com/products/12-cali...14-72-8-76-pair Keep in mind, the parts diagram shows the correct line, the photos are for representational purposes to show the various materials (OM Steel, Stainless Steel and Cohline Green). They just so happen to be the 914 355 603 00 line that you "don't" need so, that may be confusing. Hope that helps, Eric |

Thanks, Mike D. and @Eric_Shea .
I called PMB and they sent me the wrong part. I originally ordered the correct one. The ones I want are on sale, so I'm sending back the wrong ones and getting the right ones. |
