Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 20 | I recently bought a new master cylinder and when trying to install it I noticed that where the brake line connects to the master cylinder is a different size. The connector on the brake line is bigger than the hole on the master cylinder. Does anyone know what I can do to correct this or how I can make it work?

One line then goes to front right wheel and then the other line back to both brake cylinders on the differential. There is a banjo type fitting on the back end of the master cylinder that has the 2 connections. I beleive this is the original set up. I am in the process of repairing the brake system now and have elected to stay original.
