Yes you can run the hard line to the caliper. However when you need to change brake pads you will need to unhook the line and then re bleed the system. If you shorten the line and use a flex hose you can take off the caliper while keeping the system closed.

What are the pros and cons of converting from drum to disk and what is the cost

@inlinetubeco 3 жыл бұрын

Ted, You get better braking from rear disc brakes. The major plus is not having to put together or service all the parts that go into the drum brakes. Doing a brake job is a lot easier when you have calipers. I do not see any cons when changing to rear disc besides remembering that the master cylinder and Proportioning valve need to be changed. Check out Part # dbk1012G Pr101 and Mpl506 On our website for pricing.

I have a few comments. First, when installing the right rear brake hose, why is the inner brake pad installed backwards with the pad material facing the caliper. Second, why is there no mention of ANY bolt torque to any fasteners? Seems like a liability if something was to fail.

@inlinetubeco 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your questions. The Pad is in the correct way. There could be some shadowing in the frame with the camera angle. I installed the caliper on my car in my garage and just checked .

@yellowsupra88 3 жыл бұрын

What a joke. Bolts are not classified by wrench size, but that's the least of the issues. The top bolt pictured at 7:30 in this video WILL hit the rotor. Instead of giving you the proper hardware to clear, they leave that to you too figure out. You can replace with a grade 8 bolt with a thinner head, like a pan head, or machine/grind the top of the bolt for proper clearance. Would be helpful if they included written instructions for the G body kit with the parts. Instead of the generic A/F/X body instructions. The kit appears to be well made.

@inlinetubeco 3 жыл бұрын

This kit only intended to work with the stock axles. The video was filmed with a factory equipped 1983 Grand Prix. The bolt referenced will only hit the rotor if you have aftermarket axles that are shorter than the stock axles. As for the bolt classification, we understand how bolts are measured and sized as we also carry all of the bolts that were used. The wrench sizes were referenced to make it easier for the installer to identify.
