Brakeline Difference?

What is the differenc b/w the older brakelines (I am told they changed the rear lines at some point)? Anyone have a picture? I have a set of SS brakelines and I am not sure if they will work on my 06....

The earlier lines used a banjo fitting, basically the caliper end of the line has a hole that the bolt goes through. The later model ones thread directly into the caliper. I believe they changed sometime in March or April of '03.

For example...

...the piece in the middle would be on the caliper end.

Get a hold of Todd at TCE.

Thank you for the fast response!

Your welcome. Where did you get them? Can they be exchanged for the correct ones?
gnatster has a set for you in your other thread.

I happen to have the banjo style on my car.

I picked them up from a friend, I don't remember what I spent, but it wasn't much... I can still re-use the fronts tho correct?

I'm not 100% on that one, maybe someone who does know will chime in. Try to contact Todd at TCE, he'll know for sure.

I have a 10/02 build with banjo rear lines, but the lines I got from Bavarian Auto, while banjo style, won't fit the stock bolts in the rear - what do I do? Did I get the wrong lines? Or do I need a different bolt?
