I tried to install these lines but the banjo bolt is to short about 24mm,(only about 3 threads deep into caliper, stripped one out already trying to tighten it) where the factory is about 32mm, and you can't use the factory bolts with goodridge lines. I have been online and the longest I can find are 24mm long banjo bolts. Has anyone had this problem?:doh:

My kit came with one of the lines tapped incorrectly, but the banjo bolts themselves fit just fine... I called the vendor and had another line sent the next day... That's what I'd do if I were you; call up the vendor ;)

I just put disk brakes on my '62 with stainless lines. Ended up ruining one of the copper gaskets. Went to Advance Auto Parts and they had a selection of bolts/washers, etc., in single piece quantities. REAL handy and fixed the problem. (They have both metric and 'regular' stuff.... in the HELP parts section)
