    Hey Folks,
    For those using GM Metric calipers on a rear disc set up. What are you using to adapt brake lines.
    The "hole" is a 7/16-20 banjo bolt hole. I want to run steel lines.
    The only thing I'm finding is banjo bolts. I cant seem to find an adapter for 7/16-20 to a 3/16 inverted flare.............any suggestions?
    Thanx,
    Brandon

    you need to run some short flexible lines to the calipers so you can remove them to change pads/rotors without having to disconnect the lines.

    Get the rubber lines that match your calipers and they will have the proper inverted flare on the other end.
