    Just got some new braided goodridge lines for my rr8 (no abs)
    The front have 2 lines of equal length so how do they connect up
    Do you double stack the banjo's on the master and send them straight to each caliper or master to caliper then over from caliper to caliper, there is no t piece splitter.
    Cheers

    and once connected up should look like this at the Master Cylinder?

    Aha one of the banjo bolts has space for two banjos the other two are single
    An I correct in thinking that the double goes on the master and the lines go direct to each caliper.
    Many thanks for the usefull piccy;)

    Yep, that's correct!

    Double Banjo bolt connects up 2 Brake lines using 3 crush washers at the Master cylinder end then each caliper is connected as currently using 2 x Crush washers on each side totaling 7!

    Restone, the front lines are normally not be same length or at least Hel lines are not.

    One of the front lines are usually about 1.5-2 inches longer which goes to the caliper on the opposite side of the wheel to the MC.
