Did the H6 brake upgrade... Brake lines NOT in the notch !

[Illnastyimpreza]

I pulled the whole brake assembly off a 2001 Outback. It swapped onto my 98 Legacy L great...except on the outback the brake lines come from the BACK of the car!.... not the same as my car. My brake lines come from the top front. And the "Notch" for the brake lines is on the BACK of the car !

YES its installed on the correct side of the car, the bleeder nipples are facing UP.

I tightened down the bolt pretty tight. Should this be OK ?? whata u guys think ? I bled the system out perfect and everything. The brakes are fully functional.... The ONLY thing is the brake line is NOT going through that notch.

yes its fine. You couldve reused your old calipers btw.

I'll confirm this - the 2000+ brake lines have a different fitting. The 1998 brake line will still bolt and tighten down and NOT leak. :)

Depends on the year and model. My 98 Outback had the wrong type of caliper (a bolt and a slider), but my 98 Forester got the right kind (2 bolts holding the caliper to the bracket). I read somewhere that using the rear brackets from an SVX lets you use the old style caliper, but since I had the right calipers (put the outback ones onto the Forester when I sold it :grin:), I never bothered to find out.
