ZR1 brake lines

Having said all of this, it is possible to route the C-4 rears to fit. Confused ?

This got thrashed around on the zr1net some years back and I don't remember the outcome. I find it hard to believe the ZR-1 rear is any different because the frame and calipers are the same. The best way to check is see if GM lists a different part number for the ZR-1. I tried Russell lines and couldn't get them to seal even though they were long enough. The ones from Movit work fine, as do the ones I got from Rippie. I prefer the Movit ones; not sure of the maker but they are/were European with TUV certification, and all four were the same length. Holler if you need more and I'll check the trailer toolbox ...

I just did this upgrade a month ago. I actually used lines that said
non-ZR-1. The lines were Russells and they fit just fine. No problems.
