Anyone else have braided brake hose issues with the caliper fitting?
One of the Earls hoses that were on my car when I bought it stripped out the caliper end threads so I had another made locally while I ordered some from Mazdatrix. The one I had made locally fit like a glove. When I received the Mazdatrix set I proceeded to try and install one of the fronts and after much cursing and swearing I looked at the male caliper ends a little closer to find that they're the wrong freaking thread!!!! Not even close!!Anyone else have this problem?
At first I thought it might be an original 80 caliper (car is an 80 chassis), but it wont screw into a known 81-83 caliper either (which is what I ordered for).
Nothing like brake issues the weekend before a race http://Forum.ImprovedTouring.com/it/rolleyes.gif
