I replaced the factory calipers on my 71 chevy truck today with a set of wilwood d52's, they are the factory replacement for the gm calipers. Everything went on perfect but now when I turn the wheels my front rubber hoses are to short, it will not allow for a full turn.

A couple of questions:

1) whats up with that? If its a factory replacement I would think I would be in.
2) when a brake line is measured is it end to end or is the measurement just the actual rubber hose part.

thanks

thats a major show stopper for driving, I would just get a longer set of hoses and get it over with. what about something like pasted in this link:?

1) whats up with that? If its a factory replacement I would think I would be in. .....................I agree but you know how things go!

2) when a brake line is measured is it end to end or is the measurement just the actual rubber hose part. ........end to end I would first guess

is it possible the lines are not turned or installed exactly as removed? with upgraded calipers the lines would be almost mandatory for max performance.

Refresh my memory,..do the Willwood D52's have two ports to select from for the banjo bolt?

Refresh my memory,..do the Willwood D52's have two ports to select from for the banjo bolt, or just one in the middle?
