I was misinformed about a set of GSX calipers I bought and had powered-coated before they arrived in my hands
Turns out they are 3000GT SL and needed a threaded brake hose
SO I bought 4 lines, inners and outters

BUT the 2g brake line is all one piece , whereas the 3000GT is 2 pieces. How does the hose fit together when you have 3 female ends and 1 male end for the caliper?
Thanks

Im confused...

You bought 4 hoses(outer) and 4 lines (inner) and need to connect them all?? I'm not sure why you need new lines and hoses?

Yeah I bout the outside hose and the inside hose for the 3000GT SL
The GSX caliper uses the stock banjo bolt single brake hose
The 3000GT caliper uses a threaded line hose. and that threaded line hose is half the length of the stock banjo line hose
So in the parts book its made up of 2 lines per side BUT there is no way to connect hose to hose

SO I posted this question elsewhere and was told there is actually a metal hard line that attaches to the 3000GT strut that connects those hoses together
Im thinking
Buy a SS kit
find the hard line that goes around the strut
or use 2 outside lines on each end

Find that hard line. When I swapped the Talon to the 3000 SL brakes, I had those lines. Plug and play.
