Title: Rear brake master cylinder
Post by: lyonsee on July 27, 2012, 04:21:17 PM
Put the ace back end on the FJ, but the banjo fits to the side of the master so on full compression it fouls the swing arm is there an easy way around this.

Here's what I did: I got rid of the big fat hex head banjo fitting and used one of these low profile allen banjos with copper washers

Note: This is the mfgr's sales photo, I do not have rubber brake lines!!!
Also, get the back end up, even when under full compression, the swing arm will be below the fitting.
