R34 Gtr Brakes

[3Katz]

I've just finished reading the brake thread I need a lay down....

A quick question for those that have fitted 33/34 GTR front brakes or know for sure - were the GTR brake lines the right length for the Stagea?

Need to try and find new lines for the Grex Alcons.

No u have to use stagea brake lines.

[3Katz]

Is that because the length is wrong Ray or because the ends are different?

Stagea ones work fine, but u will need shorter banjo bolts. I dont remember the length needed, but in a pinch u can shorten the originals.

Oh ok, the Stagea end won't go onto my Alcons. I was hoping the length would be the same as R34 so I could order some lines pre made. I'll just have to take the Stagea line and the old Alcon line in and get some custom ones made up. Thanks for the info mate

Noooooo !!!! Just put a screw into the restrictor looking thing and then lever it out, then the banjo bolt will go all the way in

I didnt know they came out. Handy to know. I dont think the shorter bolt is a problem though. It still has a good 10mm of thread in the caliper. When i take them off to get reco'di'll do as uve suggested.

Yeah its just a fitting for the flared brake line to seal against

Chuck a screw into it and lever it out with something like a claw hammer
