C5 brake issues

[thrasher1988]

I used stock c5 corvette brake lines. I took broke my lines when using stock gbody lines. No issues. I'm also using kore3 brackets

I think the issue is how the hoses are constructed. On factory style rubber hoses the crimped area is part of the fitting but on the braided hoses they aren't. So on the braided hose the small nipple is the only thing holding the hose on and it takes almost nothing to break the nipple.

This is how I fixed my issues, I bought another set of stainless lines for an s10 (part number 672360) these have straight banjos instead of angled ones. The old brake hoses themselves hit the frame. I also bought a set of low profile banjo bolts because the heads of the old bolts hit my frame also. Then I mounted thr brake hoses above the frame rail. Now everything clears fsntastic.
