Hi guys. I'm working on rehab-ing an '84 Spec944. I know it has an '87 engine and may have some other weird parts, but this surprises me...

I was replacing the stainless braided brake lines and I ordered a set from Pelican Parts that says they're for 944's to '89 and Turbos to '87. The rears were fine, but the fronts had a problem. My calipers have a female flare in them (cupped) and the lines I took out of them had a male (pointed) flare to match. However, the new lines that I received have a female (cupped) flare on the end of the line. The end that goes into the caliper is male-threaded.

The later model calipers seem to go to a male fitting on them, so the lines have female ends on both ends. Does any one have any idea what calipers I might have and if I might be able to find an adapter to make these work?

Thanks!

I need the flare style on the left. I received what is on the right...

here's the pic

The ones on the left are what's on my car. Sounds like you got the wrong ends for our calipers, not weird calipers.

Really? Where did you get your SS lines from? If I didn't receive the correct lines for our cars, then Pelican Prts should take these back. Either way, I need to get the right ones somewhere.

Thanks!

i thought they were different early and late. last time i ordered from paragon products, they asked me which calipers i had. now i remember, it was something about male vs. female, not the weird cupped vs. open end thing you have. strange.
