Never mind- brake lines and rebuilt calipers- problem solved!

[DMZ73]

 

I bought a full brake line kit from inline tube. I had my brake calipers rebuilt locally.
I bought generic brake lines from the shop that rebuilt my calipers.
 
The brake lines will not go in without removing the forward spindle bolt. That means either of 3 things.
1.) the brake calipers are different
2.) the  brake lines are different
3.) I need to peel apart the front spindle to get these damn things on.
 

The rear brake hose also came with an integrated proportioning block. I know that that is not right.

Advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Anyone had a similar issue to report?

Are you sure you have the calipers on the correct side?

your right... I have em on the wrong side...
 

I thought the brake nipple was a little low... it certainly looked a little awkward...a picture is worth a thousand words...

Many thanks!!!!

Thanks guys. Pictures work well. Memory can be flawed...

Brakes are on, ready to drop brake fluid. I will finish the e-brake connections first, then I will have brakes!!!

It will be the first time in 15 years!
