CV boot->ABS sensor->S/S brake lines

[Ldub]

Kind of a whacko question, but anybody foresee any problems/issues installing the SS brake lines with the Kilbys or any other issues? Thanks!

Should be no problem.

Is it me, or do these look a LOT like mec-A-techs...

4 for $54. shipped...

Dub - It's just you.

Sorry, but you set yourself up for that one

Those look similar in material & thickness but it looks like the similarities end there. They are molded to allow the user to cut off sections to match the OD of the Outer Race (green cup). Could be a net benefit to us since I'm sure we would use the largest diameter and that would allow us to use the most effective length causing less stretching during flex.

Hope to be picking up the VX this afternoon & I'll try to get some pix posted of the new boots.

Phew, it went fine, main guy was at lunch, so young guy checked me out. Got to ask him about the ABS sensor, saying I was trying to plan for the other side. He said they tried to get it out, lightly tapping on it and the surround and then all of a sudden it cracked in half. I'll be sure to discuss removing the 2 bolts when I have the other side done!

Invoice was reasonable....$38 for boot, no labor at all for the CV/ABS stuff!

Plus I've got a box with some extra parts...knuckle, spindle and some other stuff that came with the ABS sensor from the salvage yard. I have to pick up the box another day, so not sure all what's in it.

Hmmmm, looks like not everybody pays $400 - $500 for a new ABS sensor....wonder why this is so cheap....granted it's not an OEM brand, but are there even any non-OEM sensors for our VX?
