I have just installed a set of Goodridge front brake lines but seems like the right line is binding.
Please let me know how you guys installed yours.
There are 3 straight banjo fittings and 1 curve banjo fitting on the lines.
I figure the 2 straight ones go to the calipers and the other end of these are 1 straight and 1 curve going to the master cylinder side.
Question:
When you install these ends to the master cylinder, which end go in first and which end go in last?
Does the straight end sits right against the master cylinder or the curve end?
Thanks in advance.

The straight one goes first and the curved away from that one.

So the straight fitting sits right against the master cylinder and the curve fitting sits right against the head of the bolt? :confused:

You may want to double check that! The curved fitting should curve to fit into the master cylinder, and the straight fitting should go on the outside. I installed my HEL lines last week, so my memory could be off......

Damn, I should have just kept my mouth shut until I knew for sure. I'd hate to confuse you anymore than you probably are....

Just mimic the OEM lines! The only difficulty is working out how to route things. I started off by ditching the OE bracket thing as it looked like things would be bent too severly using this....but after playing about without it I ended up refiting it and it all works well now!

Did you mean that the curved one sits aginst the master cylinder or the head of the bolt?
Because I did my curved one to sit against the master cylinder and one of the lines rubs the center fairing bracket at full steering lock (all the way left) position. But when the steering is straight, they look fine.
Should I try to put the curved one against the head of the bolt?
