chiwape Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I was trying to install new steel braided brake lines but the bolt that holds the "T" to the frame doesnt fit....has anyone else had this problem or how to mount them???? thanks Quote
wacko2000 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Im not really sure what the problem is, but i just recently instelled my SS brake lines as well, The two lines connect to the front master cylinder on the handle bars and run straight to the caipers, no splits or interuptions like the stockers..... Hope this helps.. Quote
chiwape Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Posted November 7, 2007 Well i wish that helped but the two lines from the front calipers go into the "T" and then break off to the one line to the master cylinder...I thought it should just bolt right up in the existing hole with the same bolt...well I guess I can just zip tie it or use wire to hold it.....

Bansh-eman Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 are you talking about the block? you dont have to use it. you can put both ends of the ss lines on top of each other and use the copper disks between them. Quote
wacko2000 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 exactly, the t that gets mounted to the frame, is no longer needed, There should have been a special bolt (not sure what its called)included with your brake lines that both brake lines go on and then mount right to the cylinder on the handle bars...

There should be two other holes on your frame fitting that is not threaded, mount it to one of those with the correct size bolt and a nut with lock washer on the back of the frame tab. It's a little tough to get the nut on due to the fuel tank being in the way, but you should be able to thread it on there. I had the same problem, hope that helps! Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 I have one line that leads to the T splitting connetor which then connets two seperate lines. One for each caliper. That's all it takes to work. You don't need to adapt the T splitter to stock location threaded location. Quote
