    Size and degree of brake line

    I have an 82 850GZ. I am going to be getting SS braided lines:-D. Im just kinda confused on all the different types of kits and fittings and so forth. I am not sure of the degrees of the different banjos. On my rear, one fitting is not straight, but slightly bent. Then the other banjos on the other ends of the lines are curved the same degree. I'm just not sure what degree it is curved at. On the paragon website, they have the whole kit for $153.50. I didn't know if they included everything before I give them a call tomorrow. Thanks guys.

    When I built the lines for my 850 the shop sold me two 5' pieces of -3 hose with straight banjos crimped on to each end. I also bought four 30 degree angled bolt-on banjo fittings. I cut the 5' pieces to proper length and then bolted on the angled fittings. Very simple. Cost me $100 for everything. http://www.anplumbing.com/shop/index.php?

      The Whole kit OEM replacement should come with 4 lines. May come with 3 three if the union under the stem is eliminated. SHould come with everything
      When I did my 850 the rear hose was loose in the mounting clips. I cut some pieces of 3/8 fuel line like 3/4 " long cut lengthwise as a shim

        you dont neccessarily have to have the same banjos as from the factory. they can be different shapes as long as their fitting/placement is not obstructed in any way and the hose at the banjo end is not sharply bent
        in other words "the kit" is likely to be suitable and if you're ordering separate bits - well, theres some room for play :-D and "visual improvements"
