Afternoon all, 

off the top of anyone's head, will the brake lines off a axial set-up work on a radial conversion? 

Currently away from the garage so i can't try them and I'm looking to finish the front end swap this week, gathered all the bits, but I've just thought about the brake lines

The mounting point on radial calipers is different to axial, requiring an almost 90 degree bend in the fitting so pretty sure the answer is no

Exactly what he said 

When I converted my 2000 Mille the brake lines bolted straight up as they have the early type calipers 

Saved me some cash
But you won’t be so lucky

And if you use a radial master cylinder it’s different at the top as well compared to axial mc.
