Hey Ed! How did the car show you were telling me about go? I'm sure your car was a HIT as it is just gorgeous!! That's about the time I discovered the soft pedal and leak so I didn't go.
No, the braided lines I'm talking about come directly out of the master cylinder, right after the little U shaped steel lines. They are about 2 feet long and have female fittings at both ends. They must not have liked being moved around while I had the steering column out.
I appreciate your concern about having brake issues, but for me, I guess I'm not much different from other DIY guys and look at it as an opportunity to learn, and turn some wrenches too. Since I bought the car, the ABS system has never worked (apparently it was defeated by the PO, but I won't speculate if it was to hide something or just for cost reasons) and so this is the Opportunity to fix it "while I'm in there". The abs, unlike many systems I eliminated (A.I.R.,SPTs, LPTWS to name a few) is not expendable IMHO and if it operates as well as the '96 did, is well worth repairing.
I guess I'll start a new thread about my progress or lack thereof
I've already jumped i with both feet even though the manual I ordered hasn't gotten here yet.
Drop by my house any time..and bring your beautiful Z, so people in my neighborhood know I'm not the only guy obsessed with the c4 zr-1!!! I'm sure I'll hear you before I see ya LOL
