Which flex lines for front disc conversion?

[jlatessa]

Bought the Mancini conversion for our 70 Charger RT Manual drum.
These are the style that slide metal to metal on the caliper mtg. brkt.
No pins...

All went well until we tried to fit the flex lines, (18") and could not configure them so there wouldn't be any interference when going lock to lock. They just seem too long.

Has anyone run into this and what is your flex line length?
Our lines have the banjo fitting at the caliper end but no matter how we positioned it, not good.

Thanks, Joe

are the calipers on the front or rear side of the front wheel?

[jlatessa]

Rear, I went to NAPA Online and found a hose they said went
with my set-up, shorter and the fitting to the caliper goes into the caliper at a 90
which should keep the hose away from the tire.

We'll see.....Thanks, Joe

Well, let's see how this crow tastes....

The NAPA lines didn't do the job, interfered with the shock.

Fiddled again with the lines from the kit and low and behold, with the proper indexing of both ends, we were able to get a satisfactory result.

Now I have to go back to my buddies at NAPA and admit (another) mistake!!

Thanks for the input, folks...Joe
