caliper brake line mount is stripped! :(

[don_bagz]

i was doing my z32 caliper swap and i realized my brake line wouldnt lock into place, and i guess, it is stripped coz now it wouldnt even hold the oil in.. so, now im wondering, what i could do to fix it.. i was thinking of rethreading it, but, i fugred it would make the hole bigger?

searched around, and couldnt really find anything about it.. thanks guys..

umm..when you do a z32 caliper swap...you do realize you need to swap your brake hoses too....

from what it sounds like in your post, you did not do that, or you just didnt' mention that.

if you do rethread it, you can thread it to a larger fitting, and get brake lines with that exact fitting. make sure you thoroughly clean the caliper after rethreading it because of the metal shavings. you don't want them in your hydraulic system.

sorry, i guess i didnt mention. just thought it was common sense. but yes, i do have the conversion lines for the z32 to my s14.. so that is another reason im debating on rethreading it.. :bite:
