Sorry, but mine are race bred. You get an adapter for the caliper and one for the hard line. Connect the two and you have a hose. Works for my races cars and I think it will for you too.



My comments stem from the fact that not everyone puts together thier non-DOT lines like a real race team would (ie not something I would trust my life to) and that an awful lot of folks here don't have the experience or knowledge to recognize problems in how a line is put together, or the materials used.

That said, while I've had no commercial dealings with him, I have no reason to distrust Todd or the lines he uses. Todd has always provided good brake info here (this coming from a professional brake engineer . . . so I'm not just talking out of my . . .) and I would have no problem using his lines myself.
