The Project Pad

I will be installing Boxster S calipers on to my ES2 project soon. Apikol brackets & big rotors, you know the drill. What have people been doing for brake lines? I would have thought that there would be ready-made solutions but have not found anything that appeals to me.
Thanks, Chris

apikol has them.

I talked to them & was told that there were no ready-made kits. I needed to get them measurements to make them. Guess that is what I will need to do.

i did mine like this:

My concern is how it fits to the caliper. I do not want the line to travel straight out from the caliper as the 034 lines do. They were supposed to fit but...

here are more pictures; first i had the boxter caliper, now a different one

How long are those lines to the caliper?

aeroquip sells the bits and pieces if you want to diy in teflon AN 3.

The stock brake line from the strut to the G60 caliper is 160mm and is too short for the 996 caliper as the connection is further down the caliper.

When I installed mine, I used a self made hard line running from the first line around the strut to the caliper. This is what was used on an RS2. Makes it a pain changing out the rotor through.

Personally, I am looking at the rear brake hose from an UrS4/6, to replace the short coupe one. It is 205mm long. Doing a string measurement on the hard line from the strut, this should be long enough. It would make things simple. Personally, I don't think SS lines are needed.

Or maybe the outside rear caliper hose from a B4Q. It is 215mm.

Thanks Greg. I can do the hard line easy enough & that may be the best option. I have many left over lines from various projects so I will look to pick up some adapters to use at the rear.
